Mbroh Honored with Top Award at ACEC Texas Awards Gala
Mbroh Engineering received top honors, a Gold Engineering Excellence Award (EEA) for Building/Technology Systems from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Texas Chapter, at the recent EEA Awards Gala on March 30 in Cedar Creek, TX. Representatives from Mbroh included Tony Mbroh, President; Roger Williamson, Project Manager and Mbroh’s I&C Manager; and James “Brooks” Schultze, COO.
The gala celebrated its 55th annual awards ceremony recognizing the top accomplishments and contributions of Texas’ engineering profession, according to the ACEC Texas website. The event featured a cocktail hour, dinner and program where awardees took the stage and were awarded a trophy to showcase their accomplishments.
Mbroh’s project efforts showcase their assessment and design for Dallas Water Utilities’ (DWU) Wastewater Facilities Safety and Security Improvements Project. The award-winning project included physical security improvements at five DWU wastewater locations for a total of 336 security assets across multiple sites. The Mbroh team was led by Roger Williamson, PE, and provided improvements to security cameras, card readers, access controllers, servers, workstations, networking and more. Additionally, a security risk assessment addressed security improvements in the areas of perimeter fence protection, railroad track conditions for delivery of chlorine and physical site security.
The City of Dallas and DWU maintain water, wastewater and stormwater plants across the Dallas region and place a high priority on the safety and security of each plant that encompasses water quality, equipment protection and personnel protection. DWU has developed high standards for protection of plant locations, including critical infrastructure such as entrance gates and guardhouses, perimeter fences, chemical storage and distribution, electrical distribution and equipment, SCADA control rooms, and server rooms.
