DFI Names 2013 Distinguished Service Award Recipient
The Deep Foundations Institute has named Arturo L. Ressi di Cervia as this year’s recipient of the group’s Distinguished Service Award for his contributions to the industry. He becomes the 33rd recipient of the group’s highest award for an individual.
Ressi di Cervia is a recognized expert in slurry walls. He worked early in his career on the design and construction of the World Trade Center, a structure that withstood the Sept. 11 disaster and may have helped prevent the Hudson River from flooding parts of lower Manhattan. Other credits in his portfolio include: deep cut-offs in Manicouagan, Wolf Creek and the New World Center in Hong Kong; and slurry wall projects for subways in the United States, Korea, Singapore and elsewhere.
