IStructE backs engineering petition debate
The Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) supports an online petition calling for the term 'engineer' to be protected.
Established in 1968, the annual Structural Awards have seen a record number of entries for the second year in a row, which is a testament to their growing profile and prestige within the construction industry.
2006 saw 126 entries, while this year the number of entries has increased to 151.
The 151 projects were entered against 11 awards categories, and from these, 46 have been shortlisted.
The categories are designed to reflect the breadth of projects for which structural engineers are responsible.
The Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence is awarded to the finest example of structural engineering design from the winners of these main categories; the winner of the Supreme Award 2006 was the Sungai Prai Bridge (Malaysia) by Dar Al-Handasah Consultants.
Professor David Nethercot, Chairman of the Structural Awards Panel, commented: 'Judging this year's record number of entries hasn't been a task, rather it has been a pleasure.
We have had designs submitted from all corners of the world, from organisations of greatly varying size and scope and have seen structures configured to meet all manner of design requirements'.
Paul Scott of Adams Kara Taylor, whose Phaeno Science Centre (Germany) project won the Award for Arts, Leisure or Entertainment Structures 2006 said of winning their award: '...it represents a recognition and celebration of the work we undertake as engineers to embark on new challenges and innovations not only with complex forms but in all areas of construction for the better of the built environment'.
The winning and commended projects for the Structural Awards 2007 will be announced at the gala awards ceremony on Wednesday 14th November 2007 at Lawrence Hall, Royal Horticultural Halls, London.
IStructE is pleased to announce that the Structural Awards 2007 are sponsored by Corus, Griffiths and Armour, Hays Construction and Property and IHS, and supported by Beresford Blake Thomas (BBT), Peikko Group and Warners Midlands plc.
