Boston – The American Council of Engineering Companies of Massachusetts (ACEC/MA) has named Woodard & Curran, with offices in Andover, as a winner of a 2017 Bronze Engineering Excellence Awards for work on the Willard’s Woods Stream Daylighting and Drainage Restoration project in Lexington.
Willard’s Woods Stream
When water quality began declining in a stream in Willard’s Woods, a conservation area in Lexington, the town restored the stream to its natural state.
Woodard & Curran daylighted the stream using natural channel and bioengineering design principles to improve stream quality, address deteriorated infrastructure, improve public safety and protect wildlife habitat. By allowing the stream to function in its ecosystem naturally, this project provides an effective, ecologically responsible solution in this important recreational space and functions as a key piece of the town’s drainage improvement plan.
