The annual ICE North East Robert Stephenson Awards (RSAs) are held to promote and reward excellence in civil engineering.
Awards may be submitted in the following categories:
- Project value greater than £4million
- Project value less than £4million
Outstanding projects which are considered environmentally sustainable, and/or help contribute to the preservation of our heritage, or where innovation features strongly in a project may be awarded additional or special awards.
Why enter?
The awards are the highlight of the civil engineering calendar in the region and it is a great opportunity for civil engineers in the region to celebrate their achievements.
- ICE North East will issue a list of entrants to the awards to the media prior to the awards ceremony.
- A slide presentation including details and images of all project submissions will be projected onto screens across the hall at the ICE North East Dinner.
- A dedicated awards booklet will be produced which includes a specific project page with photograph and details of the scheme and company logos of the project team.
- Winners will be presented with an ICE commissioned painting depicting an iconic regional civil engineering project and a framed certificate by the President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Barry Clarke.
- Certificates of commendation will also be awarded.
- Award winners will be announced to the media in a full press release post event.
- Previous winners have benefitted from coverage in local press, ICE website and enews bulletins to members.
- ICE is proud to celebrate the achievements of the profession. Winning project teams will be supplied with an ‘ICE winner logo’ which can be used on company websites, brochures etc, in recognition of these achievements. Those associated with the schemes are encouraged to liaise with ICE North East and to promote their own positive news stories.
The winners will be announced at the ICE North East Annual Dinner to be held at the Newcastle Marriott Hotel Gosforth Park on Thursday 18 April 2013.
