(Harrisburg, PA) Dawood Engineering (Dawood) received the Esri Innovation in Construction Award at the 2023 Esri Infrastructure Management and GIS (IMGIS) Conference held in Palm Springs, California, October 10- 12, 2023.
Dawood delivers Esri ArcGIS solutions throughout the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector that enhance collaboration, transparency and efficiency—using Field Maps, Survey123, Dashboards, StoryMaps, and Experience Builder Apps. For example, Dawood adapted its award-winning land management GIS portal utility solutions for internal use by implementing a web-based SaaS solution to manage Dawood-led construction inspection projects. This approach streamlines construction tasks for clients such as the City of Harrisburg and makes a tedious inspection process paperless.
“We want and expect our vendors to look for more efficient ways to serve Harrisburg and its citizens. Working closely with the City Engineer and Public Works Department, Dawood improves the way inspections are performed in the City,” said Dan Hartman, City of Harrisburg’s Business Administrator. “We’re particularly proud that a local, minority-owned business enterprise is leading the way in making our process better.”
“Esri congratulates Dawood on their 2023 IMGIS award in recognition of their innovative work leveraging ArcGIS software,” said Richard Cooke, Corporate Director and SVP Global Business Development at Esri. “We are proud to partner with Dawood to foster the use of GIS technology in support of our mutual customers improving infrastructure.”

The award winners are organizations that have demonstrated innovative and creative ways to solve complex problems by using Esri’s ArcGIS software and those who have done exceptional work in advancing geographic information system (GIS) technology.
