Los Angeles Firm Wins Engineering Excellence Award

Sacramento, CA – Psomas of Los Angeles has received an Honor Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of California (ACECCA) for their work on the South Los Angeles Wetland Park in Los Angeles, CA.

Psomas was selected by the City of Los Angeles as the prime consultant to provide comprehensive engineering services for this unique project. A former rail yard and Brownfield site in South Los Angeles, the site was transformed into an urban stormwater treatment wetland in a natural park setting. The 10 acre project features a major stormwater diversion, structural pre-treatment, SCADA-controlled hydraulic facilities, and a 3-cell treatment wetland. Amenities include walking trails, picnic areas, solar-powered lighting, and an outdoor classroom. The project is a result of a partnership between Psomas and the family of Los Angeles City agencies. It was completed in 2013 and delivered on time and within budget.

Psomas will be honored at the 2014 EEA Banquet held on February 3 in Sacramento.  Registration:  ACECCA 2014 EEA Banquet Event
