The gala for ASCE's 2021 Outstanding Projects And Leaders, or OPAL, program took place on Oct. 8 during the Society's annual convention, which was virtual this year as it was last because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It was during the OPAL Gala that the winning projects honored in the 2021 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement awards were announced. The projects cover the gamut, from parks and water supplies to transportation and flood control;there's even a mysterious, moving mud spring.
