DOWNTOWN — The American Public Works Association (APWA) named San Diego’s Balboa Park Ornamentation Restoration Project as a Public Works Projects of the Year. It was chosen in the category of historical restoration, having a cost of less than $5 million. The project is being recognized as an example of an outstanding alliance between the managing agency, contractor, consultant and their cooperative achievements. The San Diego Museum of Man is one of the two buildings in the project being named for the Spanish colonial architectural restoration. The second building, originally built in 1926, is the Museum of Art. The ornamentation on this structure was built of reinforced architectural precast concrete. The city of San Diego, Soltek Pacific Construction and Heritage Architecture and Planning will receive the award for their work on the project at the APWA’s 2010 International Congress and Exposition in Boston Aug. 15-18.
