The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) is proud to announce the recipients of their biennial CRSI HONORS recognition program. Thirteen projects were selected to receive recognition among numerous submittals.
Project entries were evaluated based on satisfaction of owner objectives, development of innovative solutions, maximizing project value, effective use of reinforced concrete, and overall aesthetics. Eight projects received a premier HONORS Award, while five received a Merit Certificate of recognition.
For over 50 years, CRSI has recognized design and construction achievement by owners, architects, engineers, and construction managers across North America. Submittals can be made by anyone in the design/construction team. This cycle’s entries represent a wide range of project types from all regions of the United States. Each of the selections demonstrates an excellence in leveraging reinforcing steel’s inherencies as a part of the world’s most popular building material.
