Congratulations to the 2024 ASCE Region 9 Award winners! We’re honored to share that two of ENGEO’s projects have been recognized with 2024 ASCE Region 9 Awards for Outstanding Projects—an exciting achievement that celebrates innovation, technical excellence, and meaningful impact in the field of civil engineering.
We are especially grateful to our clients and collaborators, including Brookfield Properties Development, BKF Engineers, and Plant, as well as the City of Oakland Public Works and McGuire and Hester, whose trust, vision, and teamwork made these award-winning projects possible. These recognitions highlight what can be accomplished through true collaboration with our clients, partners, and dedicated project teams. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together and pleased to work alongside those who share our passion for building a better future.
Special thanks to Jeff Braun for representing ENGEO at the Region 9 Awards Luncheon last Friday at the Hilton Long Beach Hotel in Long Beach, CA.
“Being part of ASCE throughout my career has shown me just how powerful this community is in advancing our profession. Events like this remind us that great projects don’t happen in a vacuum—they happen when passionate people come together with purpose. These awards are a reflection of the trust, talent, and teamwork we share with our clients and partners, and we are proud to be recognized alongside them,” says Jeff Fippin, GE.
We are thrilled to receive the following awards:
ENGEO provided permitting support, prepared construction plans, and provided testing and observation services for the project. The 72-inch culvert underneath the entrance road to the Oakland Zoo suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed during a rainstorm on December 31, 2022, which closed operations at the Zoo until the repair was completed. ENGEO worked with City of Oakland Staff and McGuire and Hester to obtain emergency permits from Federal and State agencies, re-construct the culvert, and re-open the entrance road to the Zoo in approximately 3½ weeks.

ENGEO’s work on the Pier 70 Special Use District exemplifies our commitment to innovative, resilient design in complex urban environments. This transformative waterfront redevelopment required creative geotechnical solutions to address challenging soil conditions, seismic concerns, and sea level rise—all while preserving the site’s historic character. Our integrated, forward-thinking approach helped unlock the potential of this iconic San Francisco location, making it a standout project worthy of ASCE recognition.
