Congratulations to the winners of the ICE East Midlands Merit Awards (EMMAs) 2012.
These awards are the highlight of the civil engineering calendar in the region and is a wonderful opportunity for civil engineers in the region to celebrate all aspects of their achievements, whether related to projects or people.
There are four categories:
- Large project category: for projects costing more than £750,000;

- Studies and research category: for conceptual ideas developed through study and research in practical recommendations
