SPS Wins Three ACI Maryland Chapter Project Awards

SPS received three awards from the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Maryland Chapter. An Award of Excellence was received in the Rehabilitation Category for the T. Rowe Price building slab modification. The project entailed the major interior renovation of a post-tensioned building in Baltimore's bustling Inner Harbor in order to incorporate a new lobby with escalators.
