Bob Hall Pier Reconstruction Project Receives Project of the Year Award (Source: Texas Contractor)
The Bob Hall Pier Reconstruction Project received the 2026 Project of the Year award from the Corpus Christi Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) at the Joint Society Meeting and Awards Banquet on Feb. 26. Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN), which provided program and construction management services for the project, received the award alongside Jacobs Engineering Group, the engineer of record. Nueces County also marked completion of the reconstructed pier with a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier that week.
Bob Hall Pier was permanently damaged during Hurricane Hanna in 2020, prompting Nueces County to initiate a comprehensive effort to demolish and reconstruct the structure. The reconstructed pier extends approximately 1,253 feet into the Gulf of Mexico and sits 18.5 feet above mean sea level, restoring public access to a popular coastal destination while improving resilience against erosion and storm surge.
