The East Midlands Merit Awards celebrate projects of all sizes and scopes from across the region. Every year, the awards are presented to the best civil engineering projects or teams, or to ground-breaking research in the region.
The ICE East Midlands Merit Awards (EMMAs) provide an opportunity for civil engineers in the region to celebrate all aspects of their achievements, whether related to projects or people.
Winners were announced at the ICE East Midlands Gala Dinner at the Crowne Plaza, Nottingham on Friday 7 June 2019 during an awards ceremony, introduced by ICE East Midlands Chair, Matt Huddleston. ICE's Vice President, Kyle Clough, hosted the awards on the evening along with Rory Underwood, former England Rugby Player.
The awards were presented to the submitting organisation and other partners (commissioning authority, designer, contractor or research establishment as appropriate) or individuals where appropriate.
Projects were submitted for the following categories:

The project demonstrated ‘soft’ engineering solutions to repair and upgrade a former country house lake to provide surface water attenuation for a newly constructed medical rehabilitation centre.
The design utilised sustainably sourced hardwood in traditional king post retaining wall design with bioengineering techniques for erosion control and long-term slope stability.

The new bridge links a housing development on one side of the busy A6 with schools and local amenities on the other. Although pedestrian crossings did exist, anecdotal evidence suggested that many children regularly ran across the road to shorten their walk to school. The new bridge also benefits commuters and shoppers, by providing direct access to the Park & Ride site.
The project was very well-planned, with minimal disruption to the public and stakeholders. The new bridge made use of innovative engineering techniques and the team delivered an impressive looking structure that provides safe pedestrian and cycle access over a busy dual carriageway.

The Newark Waste and Water Improvement scheme was designed to prevent sewers from flooding, which safeguards 400 homes and businesses and provides a secure and stable water supply to the town.
The team’s approach to collaborative working, combined with local public consultations helped to reduce the impact of the new sewage system that was built below the town centre, which involved the construction of new shafts and tunnels.

The study presented research findings from several case studies to demonstrate the successful application of low-cost vision-based systems, such as smartphones and GoPro-type cameras for, the assessment of structural performance of both laboratory and real-world structures. Traditionally, such assessments required working at height, with highly trained personnel installing expensive sensor systems.
The concept has significant potential for planning, sustainability and health and safety impacts, using a piece of technology that engineers keep in their pockets: smartphones.

TThe project oversaw the expansion of the logistics centre to accommodate an increase in warehousing of steel coil, close to the manufacturing facilities in the West Midlands.
The project included the remodelling of the terminal sidings, together with permanent way renewals, ground remediation, a new rail-connected warehouse, provision of two 40-tonne cranes and the renewal of the welfare and office facilities to provide a modern and functional space.
The new facilities now ensure that a wide range of materials are available for ‘just in time’ delivery to the local factories and also mitigate any potential disruption to the supply of the raw materials.
