INFRASTRUCTURE MARKET
Cianbro was honored to receive an Award of Merit from Engineering News Record’s (ENR) 2020 Best Project Awards for the Brighton Dam Rehabilitation Project. This award was given in the category of water/environment.
ENR ranked projects by their strength in four categories: Overcoming Challenges and Teamwork, Safety, Innovation and Contribution to the Industry and Community, and, Design Quality/Craftsmanship and Aesthetics. The projects were reviewed by a panel of judges located across the mid-atlantic region.
The Brighton Dam Rehabilitation project was located in Brookeville, Maryland. The scope of work included resurfacing the concrete spillway of the dam, replacing all of the original intake gates and bar screens, as well as rehabilitating 13 tainter gates, also referred to as radial gates. Although the project had its challenges, including a record rainfall that caused numerous flooding events on the project, the team pulled together to find solutions to keep the project moving forward. With teamwork and a can-do attitude, the project was completed in 2020.
