Middle Harbor and Mason Mega Rail Projects Receive ACEC Grand Awards

The Port of Long Beach Middle Harbor redevelopment project and the Georgia Ports Authority Mason Mega Rail project both received a Grand Award at the American Council of Civil Engineers Engineering Excellence Awards last month in Washington, D.C.

The Middle Harbor redevelopment project combined two aging shipping terminals into one of the world’s most advanced and greenest container terminals. The modernized terminal has more than doubled the capacity of the previous two terminals it replaced. Middle Harbor redefines the current thinking of engineering design for the modern port. Moffatt & Nichol provided overall program management services for the planning and design of this innovative project.

The Mason Mega Rail project increases the Port’s competitiveness nationally and internationally, while improving quality of life and enhancing safety for the surrounding Garden City community. It is one of the most important infrastructure investments in the State of Georgia over the last decade. Moffatt & Nichol served as the program manager and design engineer.

Congratulations to the project teams involved on improving logistics at two of the largest U.S. ports.
