Engineering News-Record and Associated Builders and Contractors Honor Cianbro Excellence n
Julie Carmody
This past November, Cianbro Corporation was the proud recipient of multiple awards. On November 6th, Cianbro’s Oil, Gas & Chemical team was presented with an Engineering News-Record (ENR) Mid-Atlantic “Best Project” Award for the successful execution of the White Compressor Station. Located in Northeast Pennsylvania, the most prolific area of the Marcellus Shale play, White Compressor Station was entered into the ENR 2015 Best Projects competition under the “Energy/Industrial” category. An independent judging panel named 34 projects in 17 categories located within the Mid-Atlantic Region, which includes Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Seventeen projects were awarded the high honor of “Best Project” in their respective categories, including White Compressor Station, which qualifies it to advance to the national competition where it will be considered for a “Best of the Best” national award. Later in November, the 14
White Compressor Station Project was honored for a second and third time when it was presented with both an Excellence in Construction (EIC) Merit and Safety Award by the Massachusetts Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). The Massachusetts Chapter of ABC hosted its 23rd Annual Excellence in Construction (EIC) Awards Ceremony on November 18th to celebrate the “best of the best” in merit shop construction. The event honored members of the Massachusetts Chapter of ABC who performed outstanding work on construction projects completed between September 1, 2012 and August 1, 2015. This year, Cianbro entered two projects into the competition and both received awards. The Bates Bridge Replacement Project was nominated under the “Infrastructure/Heavy; All Contracts Amounts” category and received the Eagle Award (highest honor given to only one project per category). The White Compressor Station project was nominated under the “Commercial/Institutional/Industrial; Over $5 million”

category and was the recipient of both a Merit and Safety Award. Projects entered into the ABC Mass EIC Awards competition are judged by a cross section of construction industry experts, including owners, architects, engineers, and other industry leaders based on very specific criteria outlined in the entry form. Contractors must not only demonstrate exceptional quality in construction and exemplary references from the project owner, but also an excellent safety performance. The competition is open to both General Contractors and Subcontractors and there is no geographic limitation on the location of any project. As a result of winning ABC Mass EIC Awards, the Bates Bridge Replacement Project and White Compressor Station Project, along with the Central Delivery Point Compressor Stations and Dehydration Facility Project (winner of a 2014 ABC CT EIC Award) were eligible and recently entered into the ABC National Excellence in Construction Awards competition. National winners will be honored in March 2016.
