St. Charles, MO, March 18, 2010 - SCI Engineering, Inc. (SCI) won a Special Achievement Award in the Environmental Category for the Collinsville Crossing Free Product Recovery System project in Collinsville, Illinois from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Illinois.

As part of a major redevelopment project, Collinsville Acquisitions/Koman Properties retained SCI to provide peer review consultation on a significantly impacted site proposed for redevelopment in Collinsville, Illinois. SCI's review resulted in a savings of over $500,000 in unnecessary soil remediation costs. SCI was then retained and designed a cost-effective vacuum-enhanced free product recovery system that uniquely fit the site conditions. These activities were performed on a demanding schedule to ensure that its construction was integrated with other construction on site. This IEPA-approved system resulted in the conversion of a blighted Brownfield area into a highly visible revenue-producing retail center.

Special Achievement Awards are given for projects "worthy of special recognition of the engineer and the owner/client for achieving engineering excellence." The award was presented at ACEC's thirty-ninth annual Engineering Excellence Awards Competition that recognizes outstanding projects designed by private practice engineering firms from the State of Illinois.
