ASCE Delegation Honors Machu Picchu For Engineering Excellence of Incas
CUSCO, Peru - Kenneth Wright has devoted a hefty portion of the last three decades to the study of the Incan city of Machu Picchu in Southern Peru. Finally, he’s succeeded in leaving his mark on the famed lost city.
Wright, president of Denver-based Wright Water Engineers, championed the naming of Machu Picchu and to ASCE’s Historic Civil Engineering Landmark Program. Last month, a delegation of ASCE members including President-elect Wayne Klotz traveled to Peru to take part in ceremonies dedicating the plaque that will be placed at the entrance to the site.
