Structural Award Winners 2021
The Supreme Award for
Structural Engineering Excellence
For the finest example of excellence in structural engineering design, selected by the judges from the winners of the twelve principal Awards categories.
The Award for
Construction Innovation
Awarded for projects demonstrating structural engineering excellence and innovation in the design of temporary works and construction processes.
The Award for
Long Span Structures
Awarded for structural engineering excellence in buildings (not bridges) incorporating particularly long spans, relative to the proportions of the structure.
The Award for
Minimal Structural Intervention
Awarded for projects which through the ingenuity of structural engineering expertise have led to no, or minimal, structural intervention in order to safely prolong the life of an existing structure
The Award for
Pedestrian Bridges
Awarded for excellence in the design of pedestrian and/or cycle bridges, or other lightweight bridge structures.
The Award for
Small Projects of under £3 million
Awarded for excellence in the structural design of projects with a construction cost of less than three million pounds.
The Award for
Structural Artistry (building structures)
Awarded for building projects in which an adequate and worthy solution has been transformed by the vision and skill of the structural engineer into something exceptional.
The Award for
Structural Artistry (non building structures)
Awarded for creative structures in which the vision and skill of the structural engineer has been paramount. Structures may include but are not restricted to sculptures, demonstrator projects, motorway gantries, floating structures, moving structures and cranes.
The Award for
Structural Heritage
Awarded for excellence in structural design where important heritage characteristics of the original structure are preserved through appropriate restoration and conservation.
The Award for
Structural Transformation
Awarded to projects demonstrating structural engineering excellence in the transformation, repurposing or extension of an existing building or structure.
The Award for
Structures in Extreme Conditions
Awarded for excellence in the design of structures subject to extreme actions or involving unusually complex interactions with the ground and/or particularly challenging foundations.
The Award for
Tall or Slender Structures
Awarded for structural engineering excellence in projects where height or slenderness presents a particular structural challenge in the design and construction.
The Award for
Vehicle Bridges
Awarded for excellence in the design of bridges carrying highways and/or railways.
The Award for
Zero-Carbon Ambition
Awarded for projects which demonstrate excellence in the pursuit of low-, zero-, or negative-carbon solutions across the design and construction of the project.
All projects submitted in 2020 and 2021 were considered for shortlisting in this award.
