2 Miami Beach Infrastructure Projects Win Top Awards

Miami Beach, FL – The Miami Beach Public Works Department has won two prestigious project-of-the-year awards for major infrastructure projects from the Florida chapter of the American Public Works Association (AWPA).

“We’re very proud of our Public Works Department,” said Miami Beach City Manager Eric T. Carpenter. “These are the types of projects that elevate the day-to-day quality of life for our residents, strengthen aging infrastructure and will continue to meet the needs of the city well into the future.”

The department earned a project-of-the-year award in the water/wastewater category for the 41 Street water main replacement project, which employed Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) equipment to replace aging pipes, increase system reliability and enhance water quality. The new water main is expected to have a lifespan of 70-100 years.

The department picked up a second project-of-the-year award in the beautification/landscaping category for its landscape aesthetics along Indian Creek Drive. That project enhanced the pedestrian experience by giving residents and visitors a beautiful walkway to enjoy waterway views and reconnect with nature.
