Macnab receives 2012 Harry
Schnabel Jr. Award
Alan Macnab, P.Eng., D.GE
, was
presented The 2012 Harry Schnabel
Jr. Award at the 2012 Geo-Congress in
Oakland, CA. Macnab, a past-presi-
dent of the Geo-Institute, received the
award in recognition of his more than
30 years of service to the earth retain-
ing structures industry as a contractor,
author, and ASCE leader.
“It was particularly significant that the
nomination for this award came from
Hubert Deaton and his fellow profes-
sionals at the Schnabel Foundation
Company”, said Macnab. “Schnabel
has always been fierce competi-
tors, but they comport themselves as
gentlemen which makes their nomina-
tion special to me. Harry Schnabel
took the time when I was a young man
first attending technical events such
as Geotechnical Division seminars
to spend some time mentoring me.
Perhaps he felt he had found a kindred
soul who had the same fascination
with and passion for the earth reten-
tion business that he had. ”
The Award was established by the
Geo-Institute in 2006 as a memorial
which recognizes Harry Schnabel’s
accomplishments in the field of Earth
