Abstract:
The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) recently announced the winners of the third annual Sidney Freedman Craftsmanship Awards competition. Three projects and PCI-certified plants were recognized for excellence in manufacturing and craftsmanship of architectural precast concrete and glass fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC) structures and elements. The overall winner was Willis Construction Co., Inc., for its production of GFRC panels for the Broad Museum, Los Angeles, CA. Two honorable mentions included Gate Precast Company for producing a monolithic steeple for the LDS Temple in Davie, FL; and Béton Préfabriqués du Lac for its role in the restoration of St. Mary’s Hall on the campus of Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA.
