03/25/2011 The Bow Wins Engineering Award @ CISC Awards

The 2011 Alberta Region CISC Steel Design Awards of Excellence were held in Edmonton on March 24.  These awards represent and promote the structural steel industry within Alberta and across Canada by recognizing exceptional talent and ingenuity in steel design, and the innovative use of steel in addressing a variety of construction challenges. 

Of the 45 projects submitted which represented state-of-the-art architecture, engineering, fabrication and sustainability in the steel construction industry, Supreme Group had two projects that were selected as finalists, including The Bow in Calgary, and Supreme Steel Bridge Division's Plant Expansion. The five categories in which the projects were competing for awards were Architectural, Engineering, Industrial, Sustainability and Steel Edge. I am pleased to share with you that The Bow was the winner of the Engineering Award.

The other winners for the remaining four categories were:
