ENR to Host Energy Construction Summit, November 18, 2014 in Houston, TX

NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. energy industry boom has created the biggest engineering and construction need in a generation.  Significant energy-delivery projects are being planned from coast to coast to support the nation's oil, gas and natural gas liquids.  To assist industry professionals in making the most of these unprecedented opportunities, McGraw Hill Construction's ENR will host its second annual Energy Construction Summit on Tuesday, November 18, 2014 at the JW Marriott Houston.
