Awards of Excellence
Every year, the Nebraska Chapter of the American Concrete Institute conducts its annual Concrete Awards Program.
The purpose of this competition is to recognize outstanding work in concrete construction and practices within the State of Nebraska. Projects must be noteworthy for their use of concrete. The concrete may be precast, pre-stressed, cast-in place, tilt-up or concrete masonry. Special uses of concrete or innovative concrete construction techniques will be recognized.
Judging is done by a panel of professionals from various disciplines within the concrete industry. Awards consist of plaques and certificates to be presented to the owner, designer (Architect and/or Engineer), contractor and concrete supplier.
