OPAL and OCEA Award Winners Print E-mail
American Society of Civil EngineersThis list recognizes the members and projects from the ASCE Metropolitan Section that have received OPAL and OCEA awards from the Society. First established in 1999, the Outstanding Projects and Leaders (OPAL) awards honor outstanding civil engineering leaders that have made lifetime achievements in design, construction, government, education, and management.

Since 1960, ASCE has awarded the Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement (OCEA) to recognize an exemplary civil engineering project that illustrates superior civil engineering skills and represents a significant contribution to civil engineering progress and society. Honoring an overall project rather than an individual, the OCEA award recognizes the contributions of many engineers.
