Boston’s Nitsch Engineering has received the first ever Judges Award for Innovation in Sustainability from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Massachusetts.
The award recognizes Nitsch Engineering’s design of a rainwater harvesting system that was recently constructed at Yale University’s Kroon Hall. The rainwater harvesting and water quality polishing system saves 634,000 gallons of water a year, improves water quality, minimizes urban flooding and adds a landscape that enhances community use, according to a statement.
Nitsch Engineering is the largest Woman-owned Business Enterprise (WBE) civil engineering firm in Massachusetts, and is also a certified WBE in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
