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

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
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
Sustainability
