Ahern Receives AFE Project of the Year Award

The Milwaukee Chapter of the Association for Facilities Engineering (AFE) recently honored Ahern with a Project of the Year Award for its new Milwaukee facility. AFE annually distinguishes companies that positively impact the facilities engineering industry by overcoming challenges and successfully completing noteworthy projects. Ahern served as the prime contractor, and self-performed the mechanical and fire protection installations and design. Our teams overcame challenges to cost effectively create a facility that had improved visibility; allowed for more efficient client response times; offered educational opportunities; and made a strong statement to the Company's environmental commitment. The award was presented at AFE's annual 'Project of the Year and Engineer of the Year' awards banquet on January 17. Regional Construction Manager David Reinelt presented the project, and Account Executive Grant Horn joined in accepting the award on Ahern's behalf. Ahern also received AFE's Project of the Year Award for its Fond du Lac expansion project in 2008.
