The National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association (NCSPA) proudly recognized the winners of the 2026 Project of the Year competition during the Association’s 70th Annual Meeting. Overall, this year’s competition showcased the innovation, durability, and versatility of corrugated steel solutions from across the globe.
This year also brought a new format to the stage. Because the meeting schedule was more condensed, NCSPA introduced a live and interactive presentation experience. As a result, members had the chance to vote in real time for the inaugural Member’s Choice Award.
Each participating company selected up to two standout projects to present live to their peers. Then, after the presentations, attendees voted for the project they felt stood above the rest.
Overall, the session created a fast-paced and engaging showcase. It highlighted flood mitigation, transportation infrastructure, environmental crossings, rehabilitation work, and other innovative corrugated steel applications.
Celebrating the NCSPA 2026 Project of the Year Winners
Projects submitted to the competition were evaluated on several factors. These included overall presentation, innovation, durability, sustainability, environmental impact, and category fit. Because the field was highly competitive, this year’s winners represent an impressive level of industry excellence.
Together, these winning projects demonstrated the strength and adaptability of corrugated steel pipe and structural plate. They also showed how steel continues to support long-term infrastructure performance in a wide range of applications.

Member’s Choice Award Brings New Energy to the Competition
One of the biggest highlights of this year’s Annual Meeting was the debut of the Member’s Choice Award. Unlike the traditional category awards, this award was selected live by NCSPA members.
During the session, participating companies used photos, videos, project details, and storytelling to make their case. They presented directly to industry peers, customers, and competitors. Therefore, each presentation had to be clear, memorable, and persuasive.
After all presentations concluded, attendees scanned a QR code and voted live. Then, NCSPA tallied the results and announced the winner.
The inaugural NCSPA Member’s Choice Award winner was:
Member’s Choice Award
Railway Overpass and Highway Underpass by Culvert Tech
The project earned strong support from attendees. It also demonstrated the creativity, technical skill, and engineering expertise that continue to move the corrugated steel industry forward.
