NTH Chairman Emeritus also honored with Leadership Award
NORTHVILLE, MI – NTH Consultants, Ltd. (NTH) is proud to announce that, in partnership with Spackman Mossop Michaels (SMM) – Landscape Architects, NTH received a Merit Award for Engineering from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Michigan (ACEC/M) at the recent ACEC/M Engineering & Surveying Excellence Awards. The award was for the Livernois “Avenue of Fashion” Make-Over for the City of Detroit – Department of Public Works on which NTH also worked with Spalding DeDecker Associates (Surveying), RS Engineering (Traffic Signal Design) and CDA Engineering (Public Lighting).
For this project, Livernois Avenue, between Margareta and 8-Mile, was transformed into a welcoming streetscape with a dedicated left-turn lane, wider sidewalks, on-street parking, raised bike lanes and more. NTH provided the site-civil construction plans for a complete makeover, meeting the community’s vision. In coordination with SMM, NTH provided the plans for the removal of the median and existing travel configuration; completely re-designing the entire corridor to the right-of-way limits. NTH’s team of civil engineering professionals was able to accomplish the various aspects of this major design under a demanding project delivery schedule and site constraints to ensure access to existing business.
