Many people, in many ways, serve the best interests of
the construction industry. The editors of ENR have
chosen the following individuals for innovations and

cited here will be honored at lunch and dinner events
on April 6, 2006, at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New
York City. One has already been chosen to receive the
Award of Excellence, ENR's highest honor, and will be
the subject of a cover story in the magazine's April
10 issue.

E. Sreedharan deferred retirement in 1998 to become
managing director of India's Delhi Metro Rail Corp.,
taking charge of a $2.3-billion effort to build the
first phase of New Delhi?s massive metro system. He
led that challenging 66-kilometer project to a phased
completion in December 2005. Sreedharan is credited

a 180-km transportation marvel for India.
