Anna Pridmore, PhD, PE, DBIA, F.ASCE, has been named a Fellow by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) recognizing her exceptional leadership, technical acumen, and lasting contributions to the civil engineering profession.
As Senior Vice President of Collaborative Delivery at STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES, Dr. Pridmore leads complex water and wastewater infrastructure renewal programs throughout North America. Over her 24-year career, she has provided executive and technical leadership for more than 500 infrastructure rehabilitation projects, helping utilities and public agencies extend the life of their critical water and wastewater transmission assets, improve system resilience, and deliver critical infrastructure renewal projects. Her expertise in large-diameter pipeline assessment, advanced composite renewal technologies, and collaborative project delivery has established her as one of the industry’s most respected leaders in infrastructure rehabilitation.
Beyond project delivery, Dr. Pridmore has played a significant role in shaping the future of the engineering and construction industry. She currently serves on the National Board of Directors of the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), helping advance collaborative delivery practices nationwide. As a DBIA-certified instructor, she is passionate about educating industry professionals on Design-Build Done Right® best practices and has helped train hundreds of engineers, owners, and construction professionals across the United States.
An active ASCE member for more than two decades, Dr. Pridmore has held numerous leadership roles within the Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute (UESI), including service on the Pipelines Division Executive Committee and conference co-chair at the UESI Pipelines Conference. Through these efforts, she has helped shape technical programming, professional development initiatives, and strategic priorities for one of the civil engineering profession’s most influential infrastructure communities.
Among her most impactful professional contributions was serving on the ASCE task group responsible for developing ASCE’s current Code of Ethics. Since its adoption, she has become a nationally recognized advocate for ethical engineering practice, teaching engineering ethics throughout the country. Her work continues to reinforce the principles of professionalism, accountability, and public trust that are foundational to the engineering profession.
Dr. Pridmore has also helped advance numerous industry standards. As Vice-Chair of the AWWA C305 Standard for CFRP Renewal and Strengthening of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe, she has contributed to the development of national guidance that is now widely used to extend the service life of critical pipeline infrastructure. Her influence extends across numerous research initiatives, standards committees, and professional organizations dedicated to improving infrastructure performance and reliability.
Equally important is her commitment to developing future leaders. Dr. Pridmore founded and continues to lead a workforce development and diversity initiative at the UESI Pipelines Conference, creating opportunities for mentorship, professional growth, and industry engagement. Reflecting on her leadership philosophy, she notes:
“The most important infrastructure we build is not pipelines, tunnels, or treatment plants. It is the next generation of engineers who will lead, innovate, and serve after us.”
A prolific author, educator, and industry leader, Dr. Pridmore has contributed more than 70 technical publications and over 100 professional presentations while helping lead award-winning infrastructure programs throughout North America. Her elevation to ASCE Fellow recognizes not only a distinguished record of technical achievement, but also a legacy of leadership that continues to strengthen the profession and inspire future generations of engineers.
