Humboldt Engineering Firm Earns 2 Awards for Scotia Renovation Project
Locally based engineering and planning firm SHN recently received two awards for the design and historical reconstruction of the Town of Scotia’s water, sewer, and roads infrastructure.
Both the American Council of Engineering Companies, California (ACEC California) and the Environmental Business Journal (EBJ) recognized SHN for its work on this project at their annual award events in San Francisco and San Diego. SHN is the primary civil engineering consultant working for the Town of Scotia LLC, responsible for renovating and restoring circa-1900s utilities and roads infrastructure to 21st century standards, all while keeping water and sewer systems “on” for residents and maintaining the town’s historical aesthetic.
“SHN is pleased to be a part of the renovation of this historical town. Phase 1 homes have been sold, Phase 2 home sales are in progress, and there is now a local governing community services district,” said Mike Foget, SHN’s CEO and Town of Scotia Project Manager.
ACEC California honored SHN with a Merit Award at the annual Engineering Excellence Awards in February. ACEC California recognizes projects that demonstrate an exceptional degree of innovation, complexity, achievement, and value. SHN was the only firm based north of Sacramento to receive a Merit Award this year.
“Engineering and land surveying provide the innovative backbone of many critical infrastructure projects in California,” said Brad Diede, Executive Director of ACEC California. “This year’s recipients represent outstanding achievement in seismic safety projects, sustainable transportation projects, and recycled water programs, among many others.”
SHN was also recognized for its 2018 work in the Town of Scotia by EBJ, a business research publication that provides high value strategic business intelligence to the environmental industry. The 2018 EBJ awards were presented at a special ceremony at the Environmental Industry Summit XVII in San Diego on March 20.
“In what is widely regarded as a stable market, a number of companies exceeded the norms of low single-digit growth with double-digit growth or ambitious ventures into new practice areas or technology development,” said Grant Ferrier, president of Environmental Business International Inc. (EBI, Inc.), publisher of Environmental Business Journal.
