Pennoni Associates has received the 2003 Diamond Certificate Award from the Council of Engineering Companies Pennsylvania Chapter (CEC/PA) for the consulting engineering services provided for the Remedial Investigation /Risk Assessment/Cleanup Plan Land Recycling And Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2) Commercial Development Site at Exton, PA. The CEC/PA Diamond Awards recognize the contributions of Pennsylvania consulting engineering firms for enhancing the social and economic welfare of the Commonwealth and its citizens.

Pennoni, on behalf of Wolfson-Verrichia Group, provided comprehensive environmental engineering consulting services at a former industrial and agricultural light commercial site located in Exton, West Whiteland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Redevelopment of this property needed to factor in existing environmental conditions. Pennoni developed a site-specific remediation plan that integrated the site redevelopment with the environmental cleanup. The redevelopment of this property has resulted in increased jobs, tax revenues and economic growth for the community.

Pennoni Associates recently received the 2005 Distinguished Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies New Jersey Chapter (ACEC/NJ) for design work done on behalf of the Delaware River Port Authority for the Brownfield Redevelopment of the Former RCA Building 17. The ACEC/NJ 2005 Engineering Excellence Awards program recognizes the best of the engineering and land surveying projects in the State of New Jersey.

Pennoni’s Environmental Technology was hired by the Delaware County Port Authority to complete a Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation/Remedial Investigation for the former RCA facility and develop a Remedial Action Workplan under oversight of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to remediate this former industrial facility to residential standards. Pennoni’s investigation and reporting of the environmental remediation on the Nipper Building enabled Dranoff Properties to secure the necessary funding to purchase and renovate the building, converting it into the viable and tax-contributing entity that it is today.
