Procon is proud to announce we have received the 2026 CMAA National Capital Chapter Project Achievement Award in the Environmental category for our work on the National Park Service’s Tidal Basin Seawall Rehabilitation project in Washington, DC.
Serving as Construction Manager as Agent (CMa), Procon supported the delivery of this landmark $113 million infrastructure project, replacing deteriorating 1800s-era seawall infrastructure that had settled more than five feet and threatened one of the nation’s most recognizable historic landscapes.
Completed eight months ahead of schedule, the project rehabilitated approximately 6,600 linear feet of seawall surrounding the Tidal Basin, creating a resilient, flood-resistant shoreline designed to protect the iconic cherry trees and surrounding infrastructure for the next century.
Throughout construction, Procon provided day-to-day leadership, coordinating the National Park Service, designer, contractor, and stakeholders while maintaining public access to one of Washington’s busiest destinations. Our team also helped maximize sustainability efforts by incorporating reclaimed seawall stone into the new structure, repurposing wood from the beloved cherry tree “Stumpy,” strengthening quality oversight through off-site inspections, and helping the owner realize approximately $30 million in contingency savings through disciplined project management and financial stewardship.
This marks another CMAA NCC Project Achievement Award for Procon and reflects our continued commitment to delivering complex federal projects that preserve historic assets while building resilient infrastructure for future generations.
Congratulations to our outstanding project team and partners whose dedication made this recognition possible, and thank you to the CMAA NCC for this honor.
