Winning projects in 18 categories were celebrated recently during the 39th annual Excellence in Concrete Awards banquet at the Salem Convention Center.
More than 60 entries were submitted for the competition, which is the work of the Oregon Concrete & Aggregate Producers Association and the Oregon chapter of the American Concrete Institute. The program recognizes contractors, engineers and design firms for their use of concrete in projects completed within the past two years in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
One of the category winners, the Mill Creek Logistics Center in Salem, also received the People’s Choice Award.
In addition, the late Dr. M. Keith Kaufman was honored with a lifetime achievement award. He served as chief engineer for Knife River Corp. in Harrisburg for 19 years and as an adjunct professor at Oregon State University for 26 years. He also spent time as a senior bridge engineer at CH2M HILL in Corvallis. Kaufman died Nov. 2, 2018, at age 59.
