Structural engineering firm Fast + Epp earned the Engineer Award at the WoodWorks! BC Wood Design Awards earlier this month for its wood-roof design at the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre in Surrey, B.C.

Fast + Epp, a structural engineering firm based in Vancouver, B.C., was recently recognized at the Wood Works! BC 2017 Wood Design Awards for its project at the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre in Surrey.

The firm was the recipient of the Engineer Award. Its project at the aquatic facility was cited in the nomination for its unique undulating roof structure, which achieves the significant clear spans required for pools, and ensures long-term operational cost savings.

More than 400 design/build professionals gathered for the 13th annual event held at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Out of 13 categories, this year’s awards received a record 114 nominations from across Canada, as well as international project submissions.

Wood Works! is a national industry-led initiative of the Canadian Wood Council, with a goal to support innovation and provide leadership on the use of wood products and systems.
