November 27, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 19 Business Troast named ‘New Face’ of civil engineering Tyler Troast, P.E., M.ASCE, a 27-year- old project manager at Tishman Construc- tion, an AECOM company, was recently named one of 10 New Faces of Civil Engi- neering by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The New Faces recognition pro- gram promotes the achievement of young civil engineers by highlighting their con- tribution to and impact on society. Troast will be recognized for this honor at ASCE’s annual Outstanding Projects and Leaders Gala on March 20, 2014, in Arlington, Vir- ginia. Troast joined Tishman Construction as an assistant superintendent in 2008 work- ing on the foundations of 4 World Trade Center. He was then promoted to proj- ect manager on 4 WTC. In this role, he is responsible for managing the steel and con- Tyler Troast crete contractors, supervising daily con- struction activities, and finding solutions to on-site field conditions. As construction on 4 WTC draws to a close, Troast has begun transitioning over to fill a similar role in the construction of 3 WTC. Growing up 20 miles outside of New York City in Wyckoff, Troast’s current assignment has a direct connection to what prompted him to choose a career in civil engineering. “After 9/11, I became acutely aware of the importance of designing and construct- ing structures that are not only remarkable, but also safe,” said Troast. “The new World Trade Center complex will restore that bal- ance of beauty and security to the down- town skyline that was taken away from us in 2001.” In addition to his professional accom- plishments, Troast encourages high school students to pursue careers in architecture, construction, and engineering as a mentor in the ACE Mentor Program. He has also participated in Habitat for Humanity builds. ASCE names New Faces of Civil Engi- neering each year, some of whom will be submitted to the national New Faces of Engineering program run by DiscoverE, formerly the National Engineers Week Foundation. This program includes repre- sentatives from civil, mechanical, chemical, industrial, and manufacturing engineering professions. Selected New Faces profiles will be featured in February 2014 in a USA TODAY ad during Engineers Week and (continued on page 25)
