The American Council of Engineering Companies of Tennessee (ACEC Tennessee) recently recognized our engineering design team for outstanding performance by awarding PCA the 2018 Engineering Excellence Grand Award in the energy category at their 50th Anniversary Gala.
The award, received by David Grooms, Monica Sartain, and Branden Cadavid, was presented for the team’s work in providing civil engineering design services for Entergy’s Vicksburg 115 kV Improvement Project. The project, which crosses Warren and Hinds Counties in Mississippi, was a 29 mile transmission line design build completed in 4 phases. The line design included significant challenges in each phase: crossing of a 500 kV transmission line, crossing the Natchez Trace Parkway and Big Black River, and its proximity to John Bell Williams Airport. The final phase of the project included connecting the new Beech Grove Substation, including lattice tower replacement, tie-in work, and 2 new line sections built to reroute an existing transmission line.
ACEC Tennessee which was created in 1968 by eight consulting engineers has grown to include more than 100 engineering firms. The annual awards banquet celebrates the best engineering firms in Tennessee. The award winners are voted on by a distinguished panel of judges from a variety of professions. In selecting winners, the judges are looking for uniqueness, originality and the overall value each project brings to the community.
As a team, we are honored to accept this award, proud of our engineering design team and grateful for our clients’ continued trust.
