John
G. Horn, PE was presented the 2006 Volkert & Associates
Chairman’s Award
at Volkert’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Officers and Managers in New
Orleans. The award is given annually to a Volkert associate in
recognition of service to the firm. Horn is a vice president
and 18-year veteran of the company. He has a Bachelor of
Science degree in civil engineering from the University of South
Alabama.
Horn
is perhaps best known for his 2004 work in the recovery of the
Interstate 10/Escambia Bay Bridge after Hurricane Ivan, and the
2005/2006 recovery of the Interstate 10/Twin Span Bridge across Lake
Pontchartrain following Hurricane Katrina. Horn managed the
emergency damage assessments and repair efforts for both projects.
His leadership in quickly getting accurate bridge repair plans ready
for bid contributed to both bridges being re-opened to traffic ahead
of schedule.
In
making the award, Volkert Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Keith
King remarked, “John’s performance on the Twin Span Bridge recovery
project is viewed as a major reason the Louisiana Department of
Transportation awarded Volkert Construction Services the largest
consultant contract in the department’s history in 2006.”
