Emiquon Preserve’s water control system — believed to be the only one of its kind in the world — won an Honor Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Illinois (ACEC-IL). The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Maurer-Stutz Inc. and Hanson Professional Services Inc. were recognized for the project Feb. 9 during the organization’s annual Engineering Excellence Awards in Lisle.
