AKRF HONORED FOR MANHATTAN STORMWATER SYSTEM

March 11, 2019
1124

Washington, D.C. — AKRF of New York City earned a National Recognition Award for
exemplary engineering achievement in the American Council of Engineering
Companies’ (ACEC) 52nd annual Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) for designing
the stormwater detention system serving American Copper Towers in Manhattan.

Situated along the East River, the 700-unit residential development required
special infrastructure planning considerations given its location along a major
waterway and within the floodplain. Among them was balancing stormwater
discharges following heavy rain events without overwhelming an aging sewer
system already operating at capacity. Otherwise, excess flows could spill
contaminants into the river. However, a constrained site left little room for a
conventional detention facility.

ARKF’s solution called for burying the detention system between an at-grade
public plaza and an underground garage. Within the three-foot high space, 2,500
feet of 15-inch diameter plastic pipe are looped in a complex web that
complements the plaza’s landscaping plan. To improve proper drainage, the
structural slab of the garage roof was topped with a thin, pitched concrete slab
that allows excess water to fall away from the structure. The innovative
strategy provides a valuable benchmark for integrating critical environmental
infrastructure in dense urban environments.

The project is among 196 engineering achievements from throughout the nation and
the world being recognized by ACEC as the year’s finest examples of engineering
excellence, and eligible for additional top national honors. Judging for the
awards program—known industry-wide as the “Academy Awards of the engineering
industry”– took place in February, conducted by a national 30-member panel of
built environment leaders, along with experts from government, the media and
academia. Award criteria focuses on uniqueness and originality, technical
innovation, social and economic value, and generating excitement for the
engineering profession.

Recognition of all award winners including top commendations — 20 Honor Awards,
16 Grand Awards and the prestigious “Grand Conceptor Award” for the year’s most
outstanding overall engineering achievement — will take place at the annual EEA
Dinner and Gala, a black-tie event to be held Tuesday, May 7, 2019, at the
Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C.
