The Structural Awards open to entries, recognising the best Structural Engineering in today’s world

25 January 2023

For over 50 years the Structural Awards have showcased the world's finest engineering achievements and are the biggest awards of their kind. Submissions for the 2023 Awards are now open.

With last year’s successful change of direction to focus on the Planet, People, Process and Profession (4Ps) of structural engineering, it’s clear that the profession is responding to the challenges of climate change and fantastic projects were submitted.

The move towards efficiency of design, sustainability, regeneration and circular economy principles - all United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - drew entries from practices of different sizes and specialisms; including many that had never entered the Awards before.

Judging in 2023 will again focus on the ‘4Ps’ of structural engineering, and we look forward to welcoming projects from practices big and small that put these criteria front and centre in their work.

IStructE update: Changes to ICE database access from 1 October

IStructE update: Changes to ICE database access from 1 October
From 1st October, the publisher of the Inventory of Carbon & Energy (ICE) database, Circular Ecology, are updating their database to Version 5, which is free only for Educational-Use. As a result, users of the Institution’s How to Calculate Embodied Carbon guide and Structural Carbon Tool should review their approach to sourcing carbon data and ensure the figures used remain up to date and appropriate for any commercial or non-educational use. Circular Ecology have released a new database suitable for all commercial and professional use cases, this is called the IC+ Database. Should users wish to publish their projects carbon data externally, consideration will be needed as to whether you will need to purchase the IC+ Database, however alternative sources such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and other carbon databases remain available, and can be used as alternatives to the IC+ database. The Institution’s Climate Committee is currently reviewing the implications of these changes and the impact on future updates to IStructE’s recommended embodied carbon factors.
