ICE South East England Engineering Excellence Awards 2017
The premier showcase for engineering excellence across South East England

The ICE South East England Engineering Excellence Awards recognise excellence and innovation in civil engineering across the region.

These awards showcase the most innovative, creative and sustainable contributions to the physical and social environment. All award winners demonstrate excellence in design and construction, drawing attention to project management, financial control and health and safety.

The Awards Ceremony

Winners will be announced at the ICE South East England Engineering Excellence Awards Ceremony on Thursday 27 July 2017 at the beautiful Grand Brighton Hotel.

The Awards Dinner will attract more than 250 senior figures from across the South East's built environment and construction sector. It will provide a valuable opportunity for networking and celebrating the successes of our industry. The awards dinner will be hosted by TV presenter Maggie Philbin and ICE President Tim Broyd.

2016 Award Winners

Best Infrastructure Project in association with Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP

  • Broomhill Sands Coastal Defence Scheme

    Broomhill Sands Coastal Defences

      Winner

      • Environment Agency

      The £30M Broomhill Sands Coastal Defence Scheme directly protects 1,388 homes and over 100 businesses by increasing the standard of protection from 1 in 20 years to 1 in 200 years, allowing for predicted sea level rise.

    The improvements include 1.8km of Rock revetment and new concrete wave wall, 700m beach recharge and replacement of timber groynes plus improvements to the existing promenade, including access ramps and steps.

    The Broomhill Sands team has led on a number of innovations, many of which are 'firsts' - firsts for the Environment Agency, for the UK and some firsts even for the construction industry – for example the innovative approach with high-risk water sports users within the offshore rock delivery and storage area.

    The team have reported over £8.9m of efficiencies. Broomhill Sands is highlighted in a Cabinet Briefing as an example of best practice regarding value and the delivery of large efficiencies during construction.

Urbanisation Award in association with Bechtel

  • Wokingham Rail Station and Link Road Re-Development

    Wokingham Rail Station

      Winner

      • Wokingham Borough Council

      The Wokingham Rail Station and Link Road redevelopment has been a transformational project for this busy Thames Valley interchange.

    Between 2011 and 2015 a collaborative working approach between Wokingham Borough Council, Network Rail and South West Trains has delivered a significant transport interchange in the Town fit for the 21st Century.

    The combined scheme cost of circa £12.68m provided three main elements to the redevelopment; a new station building and associated platform works, a new Access for All footbridge and lifts and a new link road with major junction alterations and changes to traffic flow patterns.

    Some of the key constructional issues the project had to overcome included; maintaining access for the public to the rail station during all construction works, co-ordination of three main contractors, especially the railway building and footbridge and technical design and delivery of the new "linked" road traffic signal and level crossing barrier control systems.

Best Use of Civil Engineering in a Building Project in association with Crest Nicholson

  • Blavatnik School of Government

    Blavatnik School of Government

      Winner

      • Pell Frischmann

      The Blavatnik School of Government is a global school pursuing a vision of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed and with such high ambitions deserved a world class home. The building was specifically designed to support the School's mission and provides a state-of-the-art home for its vibrant academic community.

    With Herzog de Meuron we have created a remarkable building providing a low carbon solution with landmark appeal and spectacular quality. The design and construction required close co-operation to enable such a complex form to be erected and together we refined materiality and build method to create a spectacular structure safely and effectively.

Excellence in Construction in association with Colas Rail Limited

  • Thorndell Viaduct

    The new Thorndell viaduct

      Winner

      • BAM Nuttall Limited

      In October of 2015 BAM Nuttall successfully delivered a highly technical and challenging £5.5 million design and build replacement of the Thorndell Viaduct within a floodplain located between Pulborough and Amberley stations. The Viaduct was deemed under strength in need of being brought back to full strength with a 120year design.

    This project was an all-round success which saw the handover of high quality works 4hrs ahead of schedule within a 75hour possession.

    Rigorous health, safety, and environmental processes were instilled which resulted in zero reportable injuries/incidents and award recognition for above and beyond initiatives. BAM Nuttall invested in future talent and incorporated collaborative working with supply chain, stakeholders and the local community.

  • District Hospitals Ghana - Dodowa Hospital

    District Hospitals Ghana

      Winner

      • Campbell Reith Hill LLP

      The Ghana District Hospitals project is an exemplary illustration of the core values of modern civil engineering.

    The hospitals will transform the lives of those living in each district and they have been engineered to provide an optimum solution bringing together the best of modern facilities, modern construction methods, knowledge transfer of these methods, and the use of new technologies to achieve a sustainable user friendly layout that economically addresses the site constraints.
