Three groups of students in Fanshawe's Integrated Land Planning Technologies program received awards in the Student Design Competition at the recent Ontario Stone, Sand & Gravel (OSSGA) AGM in Ottawa.
The students came home with three awards. James McMillan and Andreas DiMattia's project entitled “Forest City Pit Works” earned them third place. Sandra Viviana Murillo Morales and Cailey Bradshaw's project, “Greenwood Productive Village,” and Sandra Congdon, Fernando Marin and Fernando Cirino's “Our Hole Story,” earned honourable mentions.
“Completing and researching this project has given me a new perspective on the importance of the aggregate industry and how much we rely on it in so many everyday aspects of our lives,” said Cirino. “Competitions such as this provide valuable educational opportunities for students to develop and new and innovative designs for former pit and quarry sites and progressive rehabilitation.”
