ENR Southwest is pleased to announce the winners of the 2019 Best Projects competition, which was open to projects completed in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico from mid-2018 to mid-2019.

 

A panel of seven judges adjudicated the competition and served on two separate panels; those judges who had ties to projects being considered were assigned to a panel that would not be considering those projects in order to avoid a conflict. The judges represented varied demographic and job-related imprints in the industry. The judges also selected a number of merit winners.


 

The judges are:

Pat Edwards — Burns & McDonnell

Kai Kaoni — Northern Arizona University

Craig Randock — Corgan

Bill Sabatini — D/P/S

Brent Wright — Wright Engineers

Dave Alben — Jokake

Rebecca LaMotte — hardison/downey

 

Accompanying these awards will be an Excellence in Safety award and one project will win top honors as the best overall; The Project of the Year will be revealed in the November print edition.

 

All winning projects will be covered in more detail in the November issue of ENR Southwest, and all winners will be honored at an event in Phoenix on Nov. 15. Registration and more information is available here. Early-bird pricing ends Nov. 8.

 

For sales, event and much more terrific information, please contact Jason Fifield at (480) 599-4893 or fifieldj@enr.com. If you have questions about the judging process and the winners, please reach me at ENRSouthwestEditor@bnpmedia.com.
