Innovative ideas and their implementation are two necessary ingredients in the continued success and longevity of any industry. As a stimulus to developing such ideas within the precast and prestressed concrete industry, in 1984 the PCI established the Industry Advancement Award. The award was renamed the Harry H. Edwards Industry Advancement Award in 1986 to honor the late Florida professional ngineer who was instrumental in the formation of the Prestressed Concrete Institute and the early development of prestressed concrete in the southeast United States.
