WESTON Recognized with Two Environmental Business
Journal Achievement Awards
WEST CHESTER, PA — March 5,
2008 – The Environmental Business Journal has awarded Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON®)
its Business Achievement Award for Technology Merit: Sustainable Construction, and Project Merit: Energy & Infrastructure for 2007. A special awards ceremony was held at the Environmental Industry Summit in San Diego on February 20, 2008. WESTON received technology merit for achieving a major milestone by installing its one-millionth square foot of GreenGrid® modular roof system. Project merit acclaim was awarded for the completion of a $100-million design/build project for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Hurricane Protection Office to increase capacity of critical pumping stations on two New Orleans canals. Thirty-three pumping systems were operational within 200 days.
“We are honored to be recognized for our efforts to provide sustainable solutions for our clients’ most challenging projects,” stated Patrick G. McCann, WESTON President and Chief Executive Officer. “Not only was 2007 an outstanding year for WESTON, but it also showcased the renewed commitment of our employees to make a difference in the communities where they live and work. I am extremely proud of our teams for their contributions.”
GreenGrid® Green Roof System is a proprietary technology of ABC Supply Co., Inc. licensed exclusively in the United States to WESTON. Project developers and city planners choose the system to minimize stormwater runoff and associated impacts on the surrounding watershed. Building occupants also benefit from potential energy savings during hot summer months when the GreenGrid® system
keeps the roof cooler than exposed roof surface. Made of recycled plastic
that is light-weight, easy-to-install and movable, the system also
increases the overall sustainability profile of a building.
WESTON’s success in New Orleans, integrating a team of designers, suppliers, and construction subcontractors to meet critical deadlines—before the height of the hurricane season—was accomplished with a Safety Now focus. Over 460,000 hours of work was completed without a lost time accident, earning commendation from the USACE Mississippi Valley Division with their 2007 Regional Contractor Superior Safety Performance Award.
