Hill International Project Wins ENR’s Best of the Best Award
January 31 2017 - 8:30AM
Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing
construction risk, announced today that one of the company’s
projects has been recognized by Engineering
News-Record (ENR) as one of the magazine’s 2016 Best of the
Best Projects. The award will be presented to Hill at ENR’s
Best of the Best Projects Awards Banquet to be held on April
14, 2017 at the New York Hilton Midtown in New York City.
The award-winning project was
the $2.4-billion No. 7 Subway Line Extension, a 1.5-mile,
two-track underground rail system that extends west and then south
from the subway line’s former end point at Times Square to new
lay-up tracks at 11th Avenue and 25th Street. A new terminal
station, the 34th Street-Hudson Yards Station, was built under 11th
Avenue to accommodate the new tracks. The extension brought subway
service to the far west side of midtown Manhattan for the first
time. Hill, together with joint venture partners LiRo and
HDR, acted as construction manager for the project on behalf of its
owner, MTA Capital Construction.
ENR’s 2016 Best of the Best Awards recognize the
pinnacle of design and construction achievement in the entire U.S.
among projects completed between May 2015 and June 2016. The
nomination process included entries for more than 700 projects
submitted to the regional Best Projects competitions. In each of
the 10 regions, panels of judges selected the regional winners in
20 categories. Once the regional winners were chosen, the top
winners in each category from each region moved up to the national
competition. A new set of judges examined each winning
project in an effort to distinguish the best of the best in terms
of teamwork, safety, overcoming challenges, innovation and
quality. The 20 national award-winning projects will be
featured in more depth in the March 3, 2017 issue of ENR.
Also in that issue, the editors of ENR will select one of the
20 projects as Project of the Year, which won’t be revealed until
the issue date.
“We are extremely honored to be receiving this
award,” said John Milano, P.E., Senior Vice President and
Northeast Regional Manager with Hill’s Project Management
Group. “We congratulate the MTA and our entire joint venture
team for this very successful project,” added Milano.
