Scheme for exemplary environmental
performance
CEEQUAL Scheme for exemplary environmental performance on civil engineering projects sails past 1billion pound milestone.
CEEQUAL - the awards scheme that assesses the environmental quality of civil engineering projects - has announced that the construction value of projects assessed under CEEQUAL has passed £1bn and now stands at £1.35bn Since its launch in 2003, more than 50 project teams have now signed up for their projects to be assessed CEEQUAL

Thirteen projects have so far completed the scheme and received awards.
CEEQUAL assesses how well a project team has dealt with the environmental issues they faced.
Minimu regulatory compliance equates roughly to a zero score; to receive an award, projects must score at least 25% and an 'excellent' rating is achieved by exceeding 75%.
CEEQUAL Awards made already include the high-profile Twin Rivers Diversion Scheme - part of Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 (T5) project - which gained a 'Whole Project Award' with a score of 92.7% after the project was completed on budget and ahead of schedule, and - one of the most recent - the remediation of the site for the Cardiff International Sports Village - one of the largest bioremediation operations undertaken in the UK - scoring 91.9%.

CEEQUAL Chief Executive Roger Venables said: "To positively influence the activities of more than £1bn worth of construction activity is a huge achievement for the award scheme and a huge credit to those undertaking important civil engineering projects in the UK with the intention of improving their environmental performance.".
