Scott Homrich - third generation demolition man and NDA president

The son of a NDA past-president, Scott has volunteered and served on various committees with the association including chairing the Environmental, Convention and Education committees prior to his appointment to the Executive Committee.

At Homrich, he leads the sales, marketing and estimating groups. He is heavily involved in the tracking of industry trends, emerging markets, and guiding the staff though market shifts.

The company started as a typical small family business and now performs projects of all sizes, types and complexities across the United States, including several large-scale power plant projects.

Scott’s appointment to the judging panel – succeeding John Woodward who retired from the event last year after an association dating back to its start in 2009 – means that the presidents of both the NDA and its transatlantic counterpart the European Demolition Association are on the judging panel.

The full line up of judges this year is Henrik Bonnesen (Cowi, Denmark); Francisco Cobo (EDA); Dan Costello (Costello Dismantling, USA); Clinton Dick (Liberty Industrial, Australia); Patrick Frye (Cardem, France); Jim Graham (Winter Environmental, USA); Scott Homrich; Bill Moore (ERM, USA) and William Sinclair (Safedem, United Kingdom).

The awards are part of the World Demolition Summit, which takes place in Chicago, USA, on 20 and 21 October. It is organised by D&Ri in cooperation with the NDA and the European Demolition Association, under the headline sponsorship of Volvo Construction Equipment.

Shortlists for this year’s awards will be announced in August.
