Professional Engineering Consultants (PEC) was recently honored with two project awards from the American Public Works Association (APWA) Kansas Chapter. Both projects won awards in the Small Cities/Rural Counties category.

The Central Avenue Corridor Improvements in El Dorado, Kansas, were selected for the Transportation award. PEC worked alongside the City of El Dorado and Nowak Construction to help modernize storm and water infrastructure that was more than 100 years old. A new 6′ by 6′ concrete box storm sewer and 16″ PVC transmission main help move water upstream, eliminating flooding issues and making for a safer crossing for pedestrians and cars.

The Haysville Sanitary Sewer Force Main Repair in Haysville, Kansas, was selected for the Disaster or Emergency Construction/Repair award. PEC, the City of Haysville, and Nowak Construction worked quickly to repair a break in a major section of the Sunflower force main in 2025. Thanks to fast fieldwork, careful planning, and strong coordination, service was restored quickly, and public safety was protected.

These recognitions reflect PEC’s commitment to delivering sustainable, forward-thinking infrastructure solutions that serve communities. We are incredibly proud of our engineering teams whose expertise and collaboration made these projects a success, and value their commitment to improving the safety and quality of life for the communities we serve.
