The Coast, Oceans, Ports, Rivers Institute’s (COPRI) Project Excellence Award Judging Committee found that The Castle Group’s approach and execution of the project stood out among a myriad of competitors.
“The Judging Committee was faced with a difficult decision, due to the extremely high-quality of submissions. The technical expertise demonstrated in each of the competing projects was superb,” says James E. Spady, PE, Chair, COPRI Awards Committee. The Committee ultimately selected The Castle Group as winner of the small project category.
“For a company of only 10 people to be one of two companies in the nation to receive the COPRI 2009 Excellence Award is a major accomplishment for The Castle Group. We are honored to have the hard work and innovation behind the success of this project recognized by such a prestigious institute and it motivates us to continue our standard for excellence,” says Castle’s Melissa Stein.
