St. Paul engineering firm Stantec has received an award for engineering excellence for its design work on the new Emergency Vehicles Operating Course at Camp Ripley.
The Honor Award was presented to the company Jan. 30 in an annual design competition sponsored by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Minnesota.
The award recognized design services for the first phase of the course at Camp Ripley, where the project team completed a master plan for the eventual build out of this 175-acre site.
In addition, the team completed construction documents that included a 60,000-square-foot post-tensioned concrete skid pad and more than four miles of training roadway.
The total project, estimated at more than $18 million, will include an array of training environments that can provide real-world scenarios in a safe environment. When complete, emergency responders from across the state will have a training resource to help keep Minnesotans safe. Stantec is working with URS and Hagemeister and Mack Architects on the program.
