TOPEKA – Travis Stryker, executive vice president of CAS Constructors, Topeka, has again been recognized as an outstanding engineer.
The Kansas Society of Professional Engineers (KSPE) named Stryker as the 2018 Engineer of the Year at their annual meeting June 7 in Manhattan.
This is his second award from the KSPE, having won Young Engineer of the Year in 2013. Following in his father’s footsteps, Travis’s father, Charlie, founder of CAS Constructors back in 1985, was named Engineer of the Year in 2003. Obviously, quality engineering runs in the family.
CAS Constructors and Burns and McDonnell are building the upgrades to the Chetolah Creek Water Reclamation and Reuse Facility in Hays.
“We are very proud to work with Travis on this major project in the city of Hays and congratulate him for his well-deserved award,” said Jeff Crispin, director of water resources for the city.
To qualify for this award the nominated candidate must submit a packet of materials demonstrating engineering achievements within the previous 16 months, NSPE/KSPE Membership and Activities, participation and membership in Technical Societies and Civic Organizations. The candidate may then also include other special awards, recognition, published papers, career highlights, etc.

He is and has been active in many civic organizations in Topeka, modeling his beliefs in giving back to the community.
