ARCADIS U.S. received high honors at the CSXT Public Safety Health & Environment Conference held recently in Atlanta. The conference provided CSX workers and contractors with training in best safety practices, ethical conduct and teamwork.

"We are proud of the successful projects we’ve accomplished with CSX over the 18 plus years we’ve worked with them," said Joe Maddalena, principal-in-charge for ARCADIS client CSX. "We work tirelessly to make sure CSX has all of the resources they need and that our work is completed with the safety of our staff, the community and our clients first and foremost, and being recognized for our efforts is a great honor."

"Our success and recognition demonstrates the CSXT team's commitment to both organization's core values," said Denis Balcer, director health & safety for ARCADIS U.S. "ARCADIS embraces the CSXT mantra of 'no job is so important, no service so urgent that we cannot take the time to perform all work safely,' which leads to ethical alignment, focus and client service. Many thanks to CSXT for helping us achieve another injury-free year!"

Erin Curtis, a project transportation engineer for ARCADIS in Akron, Ohio, was recently awarded the 2012 Paul L. Busch Prize, an honor bestowed upon an ARCADIS staff member who has demonstrated a commitment to making significant professional contributions to the firm early in their careers.

Erin works closely with her clients to support their goals and ensure environment compliance for a number of projects. Outside of work, she has served as an active member of youth organizations, is the former president of the Akron-Canton Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and more. With the University of Akron’s chapter of Engineers Without Borders, Erin traveled to Guarizama, Hondouras to build a water filtration system and to Liberia to dig a well and refurbish the local school.

Gary Johnson, executive vice president at ARCADIS U.S., said, “Erin understands that our world, our profession, our company, our offices are better places because of the people who ‘show up.’ Erin does more than show up … she also leads … both directly and by example.”
