Engineers don't normally advertise outside the Yellow Pages and a website; it's a professional ethics thing. But, the awards mentioned should be a matter of easily verifiable record. Sounds like a pretty high horsepower crew to me. The term Fast Track means that construction in the field will be happening as the design and drawings are created/updated in the engineering offices. I.e.: when the structural engineer has completed his calculations for footings and piers, the carpenters will be building forms from faxed sketches or details, the iron workers will standing next to the carpenters tying up the re-rod sets to drop into the forms, and the batch plant will be dispatching concrete trucks as the steel goes in the holes. It requires long hours and lots of office-jobsite coordination, and dam* good planning. Aka: a beehive of steroids. The design drawings actually become "..As-Builts.." in the process, with information flowing at high speed both ways. AutoCAD workstations in the job trailers and at the gang boxes, and wireless laptops and high-end PDAs can get real handy in these circumstances. Digital photography is widely used, also; along with computerized levels, transits, theodolites and laser distance measuring. John :-) .
