Monroe, NJ – The 11th Annual Distinguished Engineering Awards ran the gamut of everything that improves our state. Nearly 40 projects from healthcare, education, transportation and more were recognized. 

Big projects such as the Rutgers Cancer Center, Portal North Bridge and the I-676/76 “Missing Moves” in South Jersey were recognized for the impact they’re making in New Jersey. 

Utility plant projects like Ocean University Medical Center Combined Heat and Power Plant or the Hackensack University Medical Center Central Utility Plant make our state more energy efficient.

Resiliency engineering, in big projects such as PATH station flood walls and for the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission help protect rapidly growing urban and suburban areas from flooding.

“The engineering community does amazing work, above ground and underground,” said President Jerry Keenan, “Their hard work and dedication make a large impact on our state as they continue to #BuildABetterFuture.”
