MUSCATINEÂ â Stanley Consultants, a worldwide provider of engineering, environmental and construction services, and its industry partners, were awarded the Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement by the Iowa Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for its work in battling Missouri River basin flooding and restoring mobility.
The Missouri River Overflow Bridges project also received an honor award from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Iowa.
