The 2009 CEBC (Consulting Engineers of B.C.) Award for Engineering Excellence for Design of the Brightwater Outfall went to Dayton & Knight Ltd. As Geotechnical Engineer of Record for the Design-Build team, HWA conducted a geotechnical investigation to support the design and construction of the marine outfall; which extended in excess of 4,000 feet offshore to a diffuser section approximately 600 feet below sea level. HWA performed extensive seismic evaluations and ultimately developed a design for a seismic anchor restraint that will carry loads exerted on the pipeline by slope failure during an earthquake event.
