LAS VEGAS – The American Council of Engineering Companies honored Las Vegas firms Walter P. Moore and LGA each with a National Recognition Award as part of the 2016 Engineering Excellence Awards competition Tuesday, April 19, for their work on the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway project.
Walter P. Moore served as the structural engineer for the project, and LGA, the architect. The gala took place at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C.
LGA principal Craig Galati attended the gala and received the award — a prestigious distinction honoring projects that demonstrate exceptional achievement in engineering — on behalf of the firm.
“The Spring Mountain Visitors Gateway project exemplifies exactly who we are and what we as a firm value,” Galati said. “This award means a lot to us. We were honored that Walter P. Moore submitted the project for this award.”
