HONORING THE 2022 IKE ZERINGUE ENGINEER OF THE YEAR CHRIS SAUCIER
______
HON. DIANA HARSHBARGER
of tennessee
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, October 25, 2022
Mrs. HARSHBARGER. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize The Tennessee Valley Authority's Chris Saucier, a Resources Management and Operations Services engineer with 12 years of service, who will receive the utility's highest engineering honor--the Ike Zeringue Engineer of the Year award.
Chris serves as the technical director for the budgeted $450 million Boone Dam remediation project. Chris leads a team of 60 engineers, geologists, and geographic information specialists. His team is responsible for design, construction oversight, dam safety performance monitoring, and quality assurance for the largest dam safety modification project in TVA history. With Chris's leadership, the Boone Dam project is scheduled to be completed on-time and under budget.
Each day, Chris helps ensure TVA's network of 49 dams operates at the highest levels of reliability to protect public safety and generate electricity to power the region's growing economy--while keeping TVA's power rates among the lowest in the nation.
Chris is also one of the top 10 finalists for the Federal Engineer of the Year Award, which will be presented February 24 at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
Chris is a graduate of Mississippi State University and holds Master of Engineering degrees from Johns Hopkins University and Mississippi State University. Chris has also published papers in multiple engineering journals.
The Boone Dam Project is the largest dam safety project in TVA history and Chris's strategic leadership helped shape the successful outcome of the project that will benefit our region for many years to come.
