The Preservation Commission of Historic Southampton selected Pennoni Associates for the 2006 Historic Preservation Award. The award acknowledges the design and reconstruction of Hilliards Bridge, a historic iron truss bridge constructed in 1893, which re-opened this past February.

Hired by Burlington County, Pennoni performed a complete engineering design for the replacement of Hilliards Bridge. Professional services included survey, roadway design, structure analysis, construction specifications and construction coordination. Services provided during construction included structural evaluation, construction consultation, shop drawing review, and construction inspection and documentation. The scope of the project involved the removal and replacement of the bridge abutments, wingwalls and a historically accurate reassembly of the steel truss to maintain the historical integrity of this one-lane county bridge. The design team included members of the Haddon Heights Municipal, Survey and Transportation Divisions as well as the Wilmington Transportation Division. Key staff members Florence Nield, Haddon Heights Municipal Engineering Technician; Richard Egner, Haddon Heights Transportation Project Designer; and Ahmad Faqiri, P.E., Wilmington Transportation Senior Engineer assisted with the project.

Pennoni Associates recently received the 2005 Distinguished Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies New Jersey Chapter (ACEC/NJ) for design work on the Electrical Distribution Systems at the Tacony-Palmyra and Burlington-Bristol Bridges. 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 Building Systems division was hired by the Burlington Country Bridge Commission to prepare construction documents for implementation of upgrades and modifications to the electrical power distribution systems that serve the toll plaza facilities and associated support buildings at the Tacony-Palmyra and Burlington-Bristol Bridges. Pennoni’s work enabled the Commission to fulfill its goal of installing the E-Z Pass system and better serve its customers.

Pennoni's World War II Memorial project, located in Trenton, NJ, recently received a Merit Award from the NJ Chapter of the American Concrete Institute. This $5.5 million project symbolically encompasses the greatness, grace and courage of the WWII generation.

Six service markers and two arching story walls, encircle the central sculpture. Each service marker bares a seal that represents the six branches of the military and the respective NJ Medal of Honor recipients. The story walls communicate the history of the war effort through stories told by local veterans and a timeline of actual WWII events. Located along an outer circle are four bas reliefs, depicting battle scenes from both the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters. A soldier in an active combat pose and a lone battlefield marker also are highlighted in the Memorial.

As a sub-consultant to Landscape Architectural firm DHM Design and working with the general contractor, Neshaminy Constructors Inc., Pennoni provided construction management/construction inspection (CM/CI) and environmental engineering services for the construction of the Memorial, which was commissioned by the New Jersey Department of Military & Veterans Affairs (DMAVA) and the New Jersey Department of Property Management and Construction (DPMC).
