2018 CRSI Honors Design and Construction Awards Recipients

The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute announces the results of their biennial CRSI HONORS Design and Construction Awards program. Of the entries received, 19 projects were selected to receive recognition.

Project entries were evaluated on the basis of: (1) Satisfaction of Owners Objectives, (2) Development of Innovative Solutions, (3) Maximizing Project Value, (4) Effective Use of Reinforced Concrete and (5) Overall Aesthetics. Twelve submittals received an HONORS Award while seven received a Merit Certificate.

“We are excited to recognize these buildings and bridges as shining examples of the versatility, aesthetics, and cost effectiveness of steel reinforced concrete. The design and construction teams have proven their innovative spirit through these projects and for that we applaud them,” stated Danielle Kleinhans, President and CEO of CRSI.

For nearly 40 years, CRSI has recognized design and construction achievement by owners, architects, engineers, and construction managers across North America. This year’s entries represented a wide range of project types from all regions of the United States as well as Eastern Canada.
