Massman Construction Company has won the prestigious Build America award given by the Associated General Contractors of America for its rehab work on Locks 24 and 25 on the Mississippi River. The Build America awards, which are nationwide, are regarded as the top civil engineering awards in the nation. As Massman explained in its application documentation, Lock and Dam 24 (Clarksville, Mo.) and Lock and Dam 25 (Winfield, Mo.) are two of the most heavily used facilities on the Mississippi River. Owned and operated by the St. Louis Engineer District, these structures are critical components of a system that ensures consistent navigability and access along the river between the Gulf Coast and Minnesota. Despite having opened more than 80 years ago and being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, both structures remain in operation. Due to their advanced age, the locks require complex rehabilitations, of which the anchorage replacement is one of the most significant. |
