HMMH has been praised by clients, applauded by the public, and honored by our peers in the industry. Here are some of our recent corporate awards.
2010
In honor of her professional achievements, Mary Ellen Eagan was presented with the Walt Gillfillan Award at the UC Davis Noise and Air Quality Symposium on Monday, March 1, in San Diego California. The UC Davis website describes this annual honor, established in 2006: "This award is presented at the symposium to an aviation environmental stakeholder for exemplary work addressing the challenges of reducing the environmental impacts of aviation." She is the fifth recipitient of the award.
2009
The Final Environmental Impact Statement for Dallas Area Rapid Transit's Northwest Corridor LRT Line to Irving / DFW Airport was selected to receive the FTA Outstanding Achievement Award for Excellence in Environmental Document Preparation in the EIS category. HMMH was part of the consultant team that prepared the Final EIS. HMMH provided detailed noise and vibration consulting services for the project, helping to minimize the number of impacts through engineering design changes to the project.
The Florida Airports Council (FAC) Noise Abatement & Community Affairs Committee announced January 15th that the Martin County Airport / Witham Field Noise Abatement Departure Profile (NADP) Demonstration Project won the committee's 2009 "Noise Abatement Award," recognizing "an airport / aviation project that reduces the impact of operations on a neighboring community using operational measures." Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. (HMMH) was a lead member of the team responsible for this highly successful project. Other key firms assisting the airport staff and ANAC on the demonstration project included Camp Dresser & McKee, Hanson Professional Services, and Fair Wind Air Charter.
2008
The U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded the first-ever "Outstanding Achievement Award for Excellence in Environmental Document Preparation" to the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) for the Gold Line Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). HMMH is honored to be part of the Gold Line Team; HMMH has conducted noise and vibration analyses for RTD projects since 1998, and on this project since its inception.
The Gold Line commuter trains will run along an existing freight rail corridor with many grade crossings where horns are sounded, and therefore noise impact and the need for Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) approved "Quiet Zones" were popular DEIS comment issues. With the DEIS public comment period closed, RTD will be completing the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), expected to be released in early 2009. Construction on the Gold Line is anticipated to begin by 2011.
2007
