Firm’s projects at the University of Virginia and along I-64 were recognized
Fairfax, Va. — Dewberry recently took home two merit awards from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Virginia for its work at the University of Virginia, as well as for the widening project along I-64 in Newport News.
Dewberry’s Richmond-based site and civil engineering group designed a new 35-kilovolt underground ductbank system for the University of Virginia in support of the university’s need to minimize weather-related power outages across the campus, which includes a hospital as well as research and educational facilities. Since the installation, university officials and Dominion Energy report that they have realized a nearly 90 percent reduction in power outages.
