Raymond J. Krizek, Ph.D., P.E., D.GE, Hon.M.ASCE, NAE Opal Leadership Award

Raymond J. Krizek, Ph.D., P.E., D.GE, Hon.M.ASCE, NAE, director of the Master of Project Management program and the Master of Executive Management for Design and Construction program at Northwestern University, has been honored by ASCE as the 2020 Outstanding Projects And Leaders award winner in education. The ASCE OPAL awards honor outstanding civil engineering leaders for their lifetime accomplishments. This year’s OPAL winners will be recognized at the 2020 OPAL Gala, March 13, in Washington, D.C. Krizek is the Stanley F. Pepper Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He joined Northwestern’s McCormick School of Engineering faculty in 1963, and his accomplishments in research are exceeded only by his demonstrated excellence in the furthering of quality civil engineering education. His ascension to his current pinnacle of success was swiftened when 25 years ago he established the university’s Master of Project Management Program (MPM), which is taught entirely by professionals and is arguably the first of its kind in the United States. Twenty years later, based on MPM’s success, Krizek developed an Executive Management for Design and Construction master’s degree program for more experienced professionals. Transcending the tactical skills needed by project managers, the program emphasizes the strategic competencies and insights required by aspiring executives, and has been adapted to an online presentation. These two programs are taught by some 50 adjunct faculty teaching 40 courses to about 100 students.

Krizek is considered a student-oriented professor, the respect and rapport he engenders being almost legendary. He is also a gap-bridger between academia and practice. Often students or former colleagues go on to follow his career closely, and they have discovered both his integrity and his huge capacity for productive work. Known for the academic rigor he brought to Northwestern as department chair from 1980 to 1992, he has served on many review panels at universities that seek to improve their own civil engineering departments. His research interests include mechanical properties of grouted sands, engineering behavior of dredged materials, and disposal of waste slurries. His work (with FMC Corporation, Alcoa, etc.) informed several ASTM standards for preparing and testing. Krizek was also the first president of the ASCE Geo-Institute, and years before that he cofounded the Geotechnical Engineering Lecture Series, still held today at ASCE’s Illinois Section. His consultancy work in that field encompasses over four decades of providing specialized expertise to engineering firms and expert testimony to law firms. Over 300 journal articles and proceedings bear his name, and he has written 50 technical reports and edited 10 books. As an educator, he has mentored over 60 Ph.D., 60 technical master’s, and 500 professional master’s students to the completion of their degree. Among Krizek’s major recognitions are ASCE’s Huber Research Prize, Karl Terzaghi Award and Terzaghi Lecture; ASTM’s Hogentogler Award; the Palmes Academiques (French Ministry of Education); and his 2001 election to the National Academy of Engineering. He earned his Ph.D. from Northwestern, his M.S. from the University of Maryland and his B.E. from Johns Hopkins University. All degrees are in civil engineering. He is a registered engineer in Illinois.

Dr. Gongkang Fu, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE 2020 Alfred Ang Award on Risk Analysis and Management of Civil

Infrastructure

Gongkang Fu, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE has been named the 2020 winner of the Alfredo Ang Award on Risk Analysis and Management of Civil Infrastructure for his outstanding contributions on risk analysis and management of bridge infrastructure. With more than three decades of outstanding contributions on risk analysis and management of bridge infrastructure, Dr. Fu’s research has remarkably advanced safety and reliability of bridge engineering systems; life-cycle performance under uncertainty; durability and resilience of bridge engineering systems; and safety and performance of bridges under natural hazards. His major contributions on bridge infrastructure are significant, innovative, visionary, and most importantly practical. They have been adopted in national codes as well as in national or international practices. He is especially recognized for excellent work from the NCHRP Project 12-81"Evaluation of Fatigue on the Serviceability of Highway Bridges." It was critical to adoption by AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials). This work thus has been practiced since, as part of the national specifications Manual for Bridge Evaluation (MBE) governing the entire bridge infrastructure of the US. Gongkang fully analyzed the risk involved in fatigue evaluation of steel bridges and developed the solution to the problem, using the structural reliability theory. His novel concept of using field inspection as a proof test to address over-conservative estimates of negative remaining-fatigue-life has been adopted in MBE since 2015. It has avoided unnecessary structural retrofitting and associated cost.

Michael Baker International Iconic Project: O'Hare International Runway 10R-28L

SUSTAINABILITY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT Chicago Department of Transportation

Riverview Bridge

The Epstein-designed and engineered Riverview Bridge crosses the North Branch of the Chicago River at Addison, providing a new connection for runners, bicyclists and pedestrians between the paths in Clark and California parks. When combined with the now under construction underbridge at Irving Park Road, this will create one of Chicago’s largest recreational hubs, the “312 RiverRun,” which connects three parks with one path for nearly two miles. Epstein’s design strategy for Riverview Bridge involved the unconventional solution of disengaging the path from the riverbank and elevating the entire structure above the water level. This solution elevates the trail on piers, and locates it within the river, preserving the maximum amount of vegetation and riverbank stability while minimizing scouring and erosion. The bridge design also creates a shadow in the river, which is beneficial for fish looking to escape the heat and predators from above. The bridge itself is a 16-span reinforced concrete structure that is approximately 1010’0” long and 16’-0” wide with a 14’ path. It is supported on single column caissons spaced at 60’-0” intervals and has seven horizontal curves varying from 100’-0” radius to 1600’-0” radius.

At the project groundbreaking, former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said, “The 312 RiverRun will create an unparalleled network of outdoor recreational opportunities for residents while boosting neighborhood vibrancy and economic growth.” On behalf of the Epstein-led design team, we are pleased to have been able to help bring that notion successfully to fruition.

OUTSTANDING CIVIL ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT UNDER $10 MILLION

Village of Bensenville & DuPage County Stormwater Management

Redmond Reservoir Expansion

Completed in 2019, DuPage County Stormwater Management and the Village of Bensenville constructed the Redmond Reservoir Expansion Project to provide significant flooding relief to a large portion of the Village. This project expanded the existing 700 acre-foot reservoir by an additional 20 acre-feet, or 6.5 million gallons, and provided mechanical and electrical upgrades to the existing pump station. This project also enhanced recreational use of the reservoir by improving the walking path around it, as well as incorporating habitat enhancement and water quality features, such as shoreline stabilization and natural vegetation. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provided grant funding for the $2.75 million project, which exemplifies intergovernmental cooperation.

The Village of Oak Park Lake Street Corridor Improvement

Utility, Streetscape, and Resurfacing

The Village of Oak Park will finally deliver a “Better Lake Street” by Thanksgiving 2020 after 8 long years of hard work. What started as a 5-block streetscape project inflated into a 1.5-mile corridor improvement across the entire Village. The center piece is the intricate streetscape project in the downtown area. But, the added complexity of (1) a major utility project and a resurfacing project along the same corridor under construction at the same time and (2) COVID-19 make this a “career project” and one that the Village and everyone involved are very proud of. Thanks to the Illinois Section of ASCE for the award and their considerable effort to make this special despite the virtual format.

OUTSTANDING CIVIL ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT $25-$100 MILLION

Fox Metro Water Reclamation District CSO LTCP Phase 2 Improvements

The Fox Metro Water Reclamation District’s mission is to protect and preserve the water environment. With that in mind, the District and Deuchler Engineering collaborated in developing a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) to replace aging infrastructure, reduce combined sewer overflows, meet phosphorus removal requirements, and provide capacity for an increasing population. Phase 2 was the cornerstone of the multi-phase plan and included 3 contracts totaling $98.5M. Improvements consisted of a junction box with automated gates on an existing 54” interceptor; a 36” gravity sewer across the Fox River; a new 6 MGD treatment facility including headworks, primary and secondary clarifiers, pump station, biological nutrient removal process capable of operating in 5 different flow schemes, and thickening building; and modifications to existing processes to achieve phosphorus removal. Phase 2 increased full treatment capacity to 97 MGD and total peak wet weather treatment capacity to 151 MGD. Construction was completed 6 months in advance of permit requirements. Presently, the District is achieving the more stringent 2030 permit compliance limits without using additional chemical while also achieving an overall energy intensity reduction of nearly 40%. The engineering team was comprised of Deuchler Engineering, IMEG, Testing Service Corporation, and Terracon.
