Hardesty & Hanover Principal Emeritus, Andrew Herrmann, PE, has been named president-elect of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. The Institute was established in 1996 to further the practice of structural engineering with the goal of advancing members’ careers, stimulating technological advancement, and improving professional structural engineering.

Spanning four decades, Herrmann has long been a true leader, devoting countless hours of service to the industry through active involvement in numerous organizations including ASCE and HMS, all while leading some of H&H’s signature projects.  In 2014, Andy received ENR New York’s inaugural Legacy Award and was interviewed about infrastructure on an episode of 60 Minutes.

Herrmann was one of the key figures in the early formation of Heavy Movable Structures, Inc. – a non-profit industry group focused on advancing the state-of-the-art in Heavy Movable Structures. His service at ASCE reached its pinnacle in 2011-2012 when he served as the president, representing the entire 145,000-person organization to the rest of the nation. He served on the Advisory Council on ASCE’s Report Card for America’s Infrastructure as a member in 2003 and 2005, and as chair from 2008-2010. He was also an active member of AREMA, AWS, NSPE, ACEC, IBTTA, ARTBA, AISC and the Structural Engineers of NY.

Andrew Herrmann’s work exemplifies one of the guiding principles of Hardesty & Hanover – being a noted voice in the AEC industry.
