Pennoni Associates has received an “Honorable Mention” award from the NJ Concrete and Asphalt Association for its involvement in the New Hope Woodland Terrace Revitalization project. The award will be granted during an annual awards dinner at The Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Brunswick, NJ.

During Pennoni’s work on the New Hope Woodland Terrace Revitalization project, the firm offered major subdivision application and construction phase services for the 80-unit residential development. Pennoni prepared submission plans for Green Acres application, Treatment Works Approval (TWA) and BSDW permit application packages for sanitary sewer and water main extensions associated with the major subdivision. In addition, Pennoni developed stormwater management system design to control stormwater runoff. All stormwater design was in accordance with State stormwater rules utilizing BMPs as required to obtain a Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) permit.

Over the course of the project, Pennoni employed a variety of innovative methods to improve cost efficiency. Many economic benefits were realized including, less shoring and dewatering expense, reduced labor expenditure, and a benefit to the project schedule.

Pennoni received the American Council of Engineering Companies Pennsylvania Chapter (ACEC/PA) 2009 Diamond Honor Award in the Environmental Category for the Glanraffan Creek TMDL Remediation project. The award, which is the highest in its category, was given during the a special banquet held at Hotel Hershey.

Working for the Township of Lower Merion, Pennoni’s Philadelphia Water/Wastewater Division, led by Evan Andrews, P.E., provided the groundwater seep passive treatment system design to remediate the Glanraffan Creek Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) to meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. As a result of Pennoni’s work on this project, the Township of Lower Merion was able to reduce the high level of iron in the water through the construction of a seep water collection system that discharges into a pond. The water is then aerated by flowing over a cascade into a holding pond before eventually flowing through constructed wetlands for final polishing into Glanraffan Creek. The creek itself is small and flows through a narrow wooded area before reaching the Schuylkill River.
