EEA Update: Mark Thomas & Company Project Wins 2011 Engineering Excellence Merit Award

Mark Thomas & Company received an Engineering Excellence Award (Merit) for the Foster City Consolidated Wetland Mitigation Site. This site provides mitigation for three separate projects which resulted in increased project development and cost efficiencies while maximizing ecological benefits. State of the art science was used to design a new marsh that operates like a naturally occurring one. The project also provides safety and recreational benefits through increased flood protection and construction of a portion of the Bay trail.
