Irvin E. Judge, 79, an innovator and leader in global construction claims resolution and project management as founder in the mid-1970s of New Jersey-based consulting firm Hill International and later as CEO and chairman, died on 22 in June in Voorhees, NJ, after a stroke, said his son David, also his successor as CEO. Hill “worked on some of the largest and most complex construction projects in the world,” the company said, citing Richter for pioneering approaches to claims management, litigation alternatives and project monitoring. David Richter noted his father’s personal involvement in the company’s work to resolve disputes on projects such as the Channel Tunnel and the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia and to manage megaprojects such as the creation of the Palm Jumeirah complex in the Persian Gulf. Richter oversaw Hill’s growth into a publicly traded giant, telling ENR in 2007 that “the market is looking for size.” But he also witnessed the splitting of his two core specialties into separate companies before stepping down in 2016. Active in industry groups, Richter was a board member of the ACE Mentor program and past national president and member of the Construction Management Association of America.
