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.
