2018 Winners
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
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
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
Vehicle Bridges
Awarded for excellence in the design of bridges carrying highways and/or railways.
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 £1 million)
Awarded for excellence in the structural design of projects with a construction cost of less than one million pounds, including art structures and sculptures.
The Award for
Small Projects (of between £1-3 million)
Awarded for excellence in the structural design of projects with a construction cost of between one and three million pounds, including art structures and sculptures.
The Award for
Structures in Extreme Conditions
Awarded for excellence in the design of structures subject to extreme actions, including marine and offshore structures and those in seismic zones, or involving unusually complex interactions with the ground and/or particularly challenging foundations.
The Award for
Structural Heritage
Awarded for excellence in structural design where important heritage characteristics of the original structure are maintained through appropriate restoration, conservation, extension or refurbishment.
The Award for
Structural Transformation
Awarded for projects demonstrating structural engineering excellence in the transformation, extension, renovation or rehabilitation of an existing building or structure.
The Award for
Construction Innovation
Awarded for projects demonstrating structural engineering excellence in the innovative use of construction materials or processes.
The Award for
Construction Integration
Awarded for projects demonstrating excellence in the interaction between the structural design and the construction scheme where this represents a significant feature of the structural solution.
The Award for
Structural Artistry
Awarded for projects in which what could otherwise have been an adequate and worthy solution has been transformed by the vision and skill of the structural engineer into something exceptional.
The Award for
Outstanding Value
For projects where the structural engineering solution has resulted in significant savings for the client, or has delivered best value in some other way - selected by the judges from all the entries.
The Award for
Sustainability
For projects demonstrating outstanding commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment in the structural design - selected by the judges from all the entries.
