Emma Antrobus, Director of ICE North West, said; “Our annual awards showcase some of the fantastic civil engineering across the region.
“Following the cancellation of our physical event, we have pulled together to deliver the awards online, shining a light on some of the most innovative and impactful engineering recently completed within the region.
“It is a particularly challenging time but we felt it was right to help spread some positivity and showcase the important role that civil engineers play in terms of working to build a better world.
“My congratulations go to all who were nominated and of course, the winners.”
