Road project wins at Constructing Excellence Awards

A1 project picked up three awards.

Yet another major roadworks initiative received recognition at a regional Constructing Excellence Awards event this month.

The A1 Leeming to Barton improvement project won a total of three awards at the 2015 Constructing Excellence Yorkshire & Humber (CEYH) Awards, making them the evening’s biggest winners.

The scheme secured the Innovation, Best of the Best and Building Information Modelling (BIM) Project of the Year categories.

This follows the success of the A1-M1 Link scheme at the Constructing Excellence for London and South East Awards earlier this July, a project highly commended in the category for BIM Project of the Year.

As award winners, the Carillion Morgan Sindall project will go on to compete at the National Constructing Excellence Awards in London in October of this year.

A total of eight ceremonies for 2015 have now taken place across England and Wales, with just three more regions to announce their winners.

The Morgan Sindall Group’s CEYH success also extended to their Project of the Year award for Castleford Waste Treatment Works, ran by Morgan Sindall Grontmij Joint Venture.

Amongst the evening’s other award-winners were Interserve Construction, Opus Consultants and M B Roche & Sons.

The high standard of submissions at the night’s event led the Yorkshire and Humber area to be announced the “Power House of the North” by Professor Chris Gorse, Director of the Leeds Sustainability Institute at Leeds Beckett University.

Over 350 industry professionals from across the construction sector attended the prestigious event. The ceremony, hosted by BBC Look North’s Amy Garcia, was held at the National Railway Museum in York. A total of 14 awards were handed out in order to commend the best of the construction and built environment sector in Yorkshire and Humber. The BIM Project of the Year Award was newly introduced for this year’s ceremonies.
