<p>SCI Engineering, Inc. (SCI) won a Special Achievement Award in the Environmental Category for the Collinsville Crossing Free Product Recovery System project in Collinsville, Illinois from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Illinois.</p>
<p>As part of a major redevelopment project, Collinsville Acquisitions/Koman Properties retained SCI to provide peer review consultation on a significantly impacted site proposed for redevelopment in Collinsville, Illinois. SCI's review resulted in a savings of over $500,000 in unnecessary soil remediation costs. SCI was then retained and designed a cost-effective vacuum-enhanced free product recovery system that uniquely fit the site conditions. These activities were performed on a demanding schedule to ensure that its construction was integrated with other construction on site. This IEPA-approved system resulted in the conversion of a blighted Brownfield area into a highly visible revenue-producing retail center.</p>
<p>Special Achievement Awards are given for projects "worthy of special recognition of the engineer and the owner/client for achieving engineering excellence." The award was presented at ACEC's thirty-ninth annual Engineering Excellence Awards Competition that recognizes outstanding projects designed by private practice engineering firms from the State of Illinois.</p>
