Best of awards
Best Use of Technology: Carbon Reduction
This category recognises teams using technology to drive down carbon generated through the delivery and use of their projects for any part of the built environment. This may be in the form of embodied carbon through the use of improved design, alternative materials or new equipment or operational carbon.
Entries from companies, project teams, joint ventures or collaborations are welcomed.
The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
Best Use of Technology: Design Efficiency
This category recognises teams using technology to drive efficiency and productivity in the design stages of a project. This may be through automation, digitalisation or improving processes and methods that bring a step change to the construction and civil engineering industry.
Entries from companies, project teams, joint ventures or collaborations are welcomed.
The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as an integrated part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
Best Use of Technology: Health, Safety & Wellbeing
This category recognises teams using technology to improve health, safety and wellbeing. This may focus on one or all areas of health, safety and wellbeing but should have measurable impact on the workforce and individuals with the technology at the centre of driving that the change.
Entries from companies, project teams, joint ventures or collaborations are welcomed.
The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as a full-blown part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
Best Use of Technology: Site Productivity
This category recognises teams using technology to improve productivity in delivery of a project on site. This may be through use of automation, modern methods of construction or improved collaboration on site but the entry must focus on the productivity improvements driven by this new approach.
The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as a full-blown part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
Best Use of Technology: Smart Data Collection
This category recognises teams using technology to collect, use or process better data to create information that is benefitting a project or in use for infrastructure assets. Collection may be through using technology such as drones, sensors, scanners or anything else that collects data to improve our knowledge in construction and civil engineering.
Entries from companies, project teams, joint ventures or collaborations are welcomed.
The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as a full-blown part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
Best Use of Technology: Digital Engineering
This category recognises teams using digital engineering to improve a project. This may be on infrastructure or a building project and can cover areas such as improving the design, management or construction using new digital techniques.
Entries from companies, project teams, joint ventures or collaborations are welcomed.
The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as a full-blown part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
Best Use of Technology: Artificial Intelligence
This category recognises teams using artificial intelligence-driven technology to improve project planning or delivery. This may be in infrastructure or on a building project and can cover areas such as improving the design, management or construction through artificial intelligence or being used to aid clients to better plan infrastructure investment.
Entries from companies, project teams, joint ventures or collaborations are welcomed.
The technology must be being used on a specific project or framework (as a trial or as a full-blown part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
Best Use of Technology: Offsite and Modular
This category recognises teams using offsite and modular construction techniques to improve project design and delivery. This can be across any sector within the built environment but must emphasise the benefits offsite and modular techniques deliver for the project in terms of efficiency, safety or improved outcome.
The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as a full-blown part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
Best Use of Technology: Whole Life Performance
This category recognises teams using technology to improve the whole life performance of assets. This can be in infrastructure and built assets and can cover areas such as improving asset life, predicting in use performance or adaptability for the future.
Entries from companies, project teams, joint ventures or collaborations are welcomed.
The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as a full-blown part of the project) between January 2021 and July 2022.
