Diane Bertok, project
environmental scientist, received the firm's annual Dr. Paul L.
Busch Prize for her achievements in managing a large portfolio of
energy projects, mentoring co-workers, exceeding client
expectations, and contributing selflessly to local and national
charitable organizations.
"Diane distinguished herself with high-impact achievements
across all of the award criteria," said Doug Owen, chief technical officer of
Malcolm Pirnie, the Water Division
of ARCADIS U. S. "I am humbled by her incredible accomplishments
and am grateful to work by her side to help solve our clients'
complex challenges."
Willow Hetrick, staff scientist,
received the ARCADIS Chairman's Health & Safety Leadership
Award for her dedication to the company's health and safety
protocols that benefit the firm and its clients.
"Unblinking focus on the health and safety of our staff, our
clients, and their employees is a core value at ARCADIS," said
Mija Coppola, corporate director for
Health & Safety at ARCADIS U.S. "Willow's ability to recognize
potential hazards and safety issues and to communicate them clearly
to others is instrumental in avoiding unsafe working
conditions."
Three project teams were honored with the ARCADIS Chairman's
Team Health & Safety Award for their proactive work to identify
and eliminate potential worksite hazards using innovative methods.
Each project presented its own heath and safety challenges,
including extensive confined space entry work on a military
institution, hazardous substance remediation work in a residential
and commercial area, and deep excavation work around concentrated
underground utilities on an oil and gas terminal site. To
successfully mitigate potentially hazardous conditions, the project
teams worked collaboratively with all parties involved, planning
ahead, identifying safety issues, and working collaboratively with
our clients to complete the jobs safely.
"ARCADIS has a culture of professionalism, collaboration and
strong beliefs in the value of safety in our business operations,"
said Steve Blake, chief executive
officer for ARCADIS U.S. "I'm proud to work with a team that is
committed to ensuring safety on the job every day, on every
project, for every client."
