BCI Awards Introduction

04 British Construction Industry Awards 2019

The British Construction Industry Awards seek to recognise and reward the incredible impact that the British construction industry has on society. It provides buildings and infrastructure that transform people’s lives and drive economic prosperity, while being an industry that off ers wonderful jobs and careers; works brilliantly with communities; pushes technological boundaries and drives the low carbon agenda.

Award winners are chosen with the help of some exceptional judges who, collectively, are able to assess every element of a project from

conception, through design and delivery and right into operations and maintenance. The judges represent the entire supply chain and are increasingly drawn from end-user and industry stakeholder groups.

Each completed project is visited by a delegation from the judging panel, while each initiative is judged face-to-face by a panel of judges selected for their expertise in the area being judged. This ensures that these are the most rigorously judged awards in the British construction industry.

It means that winning a British Construction Industry Award really is

an enormous achievement.This year the calibre of entries was

high. The judges were particularly struck by the increasing use of modern construction methods and factory thinking on construction sites. This use of technology is demonstrably boosting productivity and improving safety. The overall initiative of the year exemplifi es this approach.

The judges were also impressed with the way many of the project teams were able to convey the story behind their project; selling its wider purpose and truly demonstrating

the value to society of investing in buildings and infrastructure. Our overall project of the year is an outstanding example of this.

But all of the projects and initiatives that made this year’s shortlist – and which are showcased within this supplement – are great examples of what the British construction industry can achieve and should serve as ready references for anyone wishing to demonstrate the value of investing in this incredible industry.

Partnership Initiative of the Year

The A14 Integrated Delivery Team comprising Costain, Skanska, Balfour Beatty and Atkins/Jacobs has driven behavioural transformations within its supply chain, resulting in improved safety, collaboration, customer service and delivery. Firms seeking to join the supply chain were “behaviourally procured” for work including earthworks and traffic management. They were audited according to attitudes to issues like equality, health

and safety, ethics and payment. This assessment was given a 15% weighting when tenders were assessed. On-site performance was also measured. The approach resulted in a collaborative ethos on site and a no-blame culture.


WinnerProcurement and Supply Chain Management: Changing Industry Behaviours – A14 Integrated Delivery Team

This award recognises project teams that are changing ways of working to deliver better outcomes for all those involved in the construction industry. Sponsored by Geobear.

Judges’ comment“Innovative approach with a very strong emphasis on behavioural issues”

Heath, Safety and Wellbeing Initiative of the Year


This category seeks to recognise project teams that understand the importance of creating a safe and healthy working environment that promotes the industry as one that is attractive and welcoming to all.

There is a strong heath, safety and wellbeing culture on the Team2100 programme, the 10 year programme to refurbish, replace or upgrade London’s tidal defences. The team comprising the Environment Agency, Balfour Beatty and Jacobs placed special emphasis on mental health, and the team has 20 trained mental health first aiders. There is also a bi-annual wellbeing survey of direcly employed and supply chain staff. Every week there is a progress briefing for staff at which

one team member shares a safety lesson they have learned. The programme achieved 1.3M hours worked without incident, and the team has achieved the Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents Silver Award at its first attempt.

WinnerThames Estuary Asset Management 2100 (Team2100) –Environment Agency, Balfour Beatty and Jacobs

Judges’ comment“We were really impressed with the focus on elimination of risk through innovation”

Community Engagement Initiative of the Year


This category recognises an outstanding community engagement initiative, as applied on a specific project.

The team transformed a play area and car parking space at Hugh Myddelton Primary School in north London into an inspiring urban farm providing educational and therapeutic experiences for children. It was a project team effort showing exemplary SME collaboration and engagement with the local community. The project showed that SME contractors can deliver social value and build strong and lasting relationships with the

community. Morrisroe supplied plants and wildlife including a goat to the school, which encourages its children to look after them as part of their academic and emotional education.

WinnerHugh Myddelton Primary School Outdoor Learning Centre and Urban Farm, sharing best practice during project delivery – Morrisroe Group with Blue Sky Building

Judges’ comment“The project stood out. It addresses a number of issues facing inner city children today”

Digital Transformation Initiative of the Year (Buildings)


The winning project demonstrates how digital design, automation and interconnected services are being used and are changing the way assets are designed, built, operated and interacted with.

Atkins had to produce designs incorporating an estimated 250,000 tonnes of steel and 3M.m3 of concrete for the massive Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. To tackle this challenge, Atkins’ team of over 150 engineers, detailers and software developers has collaboratively developed a suite of bespoke automation tools for Trimble’s Tekla Structures and Autodesk’s Navisworks. This has streamlined the detailing workstream and automates otherwise cumbersome detailing checks that are highly

prone to human error. These innovations enable clash detection and the comparison of bar bending schedules with original digital drawings.

WinnerDigital Construction: 3D Reinforcement Modelling for Major Civils Projects applied on Hinkley Point C – Atkins

Judges’ comment“An exemplary demonstration of a very technical, complex project delivery in a testing environment”

Digital Transformation Initiative of the Year (Civils)


The winning project demonstrates how digital design, automation and interconnected services are being used and are changing the way assets are designed, built, operated and interacted with.

On the £1.5bn A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme, the A14 Integrated Delivery Team, a joint venture between Costain, Skanska, Balfour Beatty, Atkins and Jacobs developed a suite of technology that formed a “digital twin” of the delivery phase. This captured live data to help decision makers make earlier, more informed interventions, reducing harm and producing, award-winning customer satisfaction. Central to this approach was an inter-organisational collaboration, supported

by an integrated ICT infrastructure, including cloud technology, advanced data analytics and a suite of apps. These were developed to improve productivity and outcomes in alignment with the client’s three imperatives; safety,customer service and delivery.

WinnerThe A14’s Digital Blueprint for Successful Infrastructure Delivery – A14 Integrated Delivery Team

Judges’ comment“A combination of tried and tested new technology and new digital techniques”

Highly CommendedDigital image correlation to improve structural health monitoring on projects including Humber Bridge and the M25 Gade Valley Viaduct

Temporary Works Initiative of the Year (Buildings)

Robert Bird Group developed a “top hung, top down” method to enable construction of the new 40m deep Cannon Street station entrance for Transport for London’s Bank Station Capacity Upgrade project. The 18.5m deep piled basement structure is built by temporarily suspending four concrete slabs from a steel truss rather than on a more conventional plunge column arrangement. This innovative approach has saved time, improved

health and safety, and reduced impact on the City of London and other stakeholders compared with the conventional plunge column method.


WinnerBank Station Capacity Upgrade - Temporary Truss for London Underground – Robert Bird Group

An award recognising that temporary works form a vital but often overlooked part of any building project. Sponsored by Groundforce Shorco.

Judges’ comment“The solution led to a greater working space and eliminated the risk of accidental damage to the plunge piles”

Temporary Works Initiative of the Year (Civil Engineering)

After serious flooding in York hit Yorkshire Water’s Foss Barrier control centre in 2015, JBA Bentley designed and built a 3m high temporary platform on which to house vital mechanical, electrical equipment and control systems. The solution was to use interlocking precast concrete bocks which could be assembled rapidly to create a structure which was higher than the highest flood level. The result

gave flood protection for a 1 in 1,000 year event. The platform was also built offline –a more efficient and safer solution.


WinnerThe Foss Barrier: Road to Recovery – JBA Bentley

An award recognising that temporary works form a vital but often overlooked part of any building project. Sponsored by Groundforce Shorco.

Judges’ comment“The design solution suited rapid construction and easy dismantling, and reuse of materials”

Environmental and sustainability Initiative of the Year

London’s Thames Tideway Tunnel team anticipated that 506,600 two-way HGV movements would be required to transport materials to and from sites lining the Thames. This would have added significant pressure to London’s road network. Working with the project’s contractors, the client switched movement of materials to the river reducing HGV movements to approximately 140,000. This has minimised the impact on the community

and the environment. Tideway’s monitoring shows that the strategy has produced significantly fewer emissions per tonne kilometre than the road equivalent.


This award recognises project-based environmental initiatives which addresses the need for sensitivity in construction or boost whole life sustainability. Sponsored by Watson Fuels.

Judges’ comment“We were very impressed by the demonstration of the impact that excellent top level leadership can have”

WinnerMore by river, applied on Thames Tideway Tunnel –Tideway

Highly CommendedAlternative Corrosion Prevention for Metallic Bridges applied on Bennerley Viaduct –Railway Paths

Productivity Initiative of the Year

The A14 Integrated Delivery Team sought to eliminate utility strikes along its route. This involved protecting more than 480km of utilities. The team combined open source software and commonly used engineering tools organised into a cloud-based BIM level 3 system. It then developed an online Smart Permit to Dig application system which ensures that applicants provide all the necessary details about the location and

nature of a dig. Next, it matches that with live online records to ensure utlilities are not compromised. So far the system has processed more than 8,000 permits and generated £2.4M in savings.


WinnerSmart Permit to Dig (SPtD) a ground breaking process – A14 Integrated Delivery Team

This category rewards initiatives that are boosting productivity in the construction process through new products, or new design or technology applications.

Judges’ comment“A simple initiative with far reaching potential across several sectors drove reduced strike rates”

Equality Diversity & Inclusion Initiative of the Year

Costain Skanska JV’s High Speed 2 enabling works team has developed a wide ranging series of diversity initiatives. Flexible working has been enabled through the use of a buddy system to enable foremen to cover for each other and even work from home. The JV also translates shift briefings into other languages used in the workplace; welfare facilities are adapted for vulnerable person access; and hard hats have indicators of the

languages spoken by the wearer. Diversity and inclusivity messages are also included in health and safety materials to promote an association between good health and safety practice and diversity.

Commercial Property Project of the Year Award

The £32M project to transform a cellular office building into a modern open plan format has improved the working environment for the UK Hydrographic Office’s 850-plus staff. Features include an exposed concrete frame and generous 3.5m floor-to-ceiling heights, creatingimpressive levels of natural daylight. The glazed atrium roof consists of 203 rooflights which open to allow natural ventilation, reducing the building’s

energy demand. The project will track its sustainability footprint through energy management software installed to ensure the building operates efficiently as designed.


This category recognises outstanding commercial and mixed used buildings where the primary function/focus is on providing commercial space. Sponsored by Franki Foundations.

Judges’ comment“A very good project in most of the criteria”

WinnerUK Hydrographic Office, Taunton

Utility Project of the Year

This project was devised to centralise the treatment of biosolids from wastewater treatment in North Wales and use yields as a renewable energy fuel. The team rejected new build in favour of using existing assets. The project used design for manufacture and assembly for repetitive work to improve productivity. It also used holistic, rather than project by project procurement to save time in tender bid analysis

and procurement, so that engineers only had to “design once” , reducing waste. Work was carried out offline of existing assets to ensure continuity of service until the new facilities were fully operational. The project was delivered early and £14.9M below the original £71M budget.


This category recognises projects providing excellence in the management and delivery of utilities.

Judges’ comment“Delivered efficiently and effectively. A great project”

Housing Project of the Year

This £80M London property development comprises 198 private residential units within a 16 storey and a 20 storey tower. Foundation designs had to transfer loads around a Victorian sewer, and structural designs included a unique thermal break to the balcony slab to prevent the build up of mould resulting external and internal temperature differentials. The structure also had to be sufficiently rigid to ensure that deflections did not damage the

masonry-based rainscreen cladding. Cracking could otherwise have resulted in the cladding becoming detached from the structural frame.


This category addresses the chronic need for desirable, sustainable housing and is open to all projects where housing/accommodation provision is the primary purpose.

Judges’ comment“Well achieved and outcome for the client, improves housing standards and better area”

Cultural and Leisure Project of the Year

The 1,000 capacity Cambridge Central Mosque is intended to announce Islam’s presence in Cambridge as a spiritual and cultural centre not only for Muslims but for the wider community. It also had to be integrated into and respectful of its neighbourhood. The building’s timber frame is one of many sustainable features. It is naturally lit where possible; has zero emissions; uses rainwater harvesting for toilets and garden irrigation and

uses rooftop photovoltaic cells to heat water; and air source heat pumps to power 13% of the building’s heating. Quality was the focus, drawing on a complex sequence of works to achieve the high specification.


This category recognises the value of exceptional buildings and public spaces in delivering social and economic benefit.

Operations and Maintenance Project of the Year

The sewer running above London’s Metropolitan and Circle lines at the junction between Marylebone Road and Baker Street was suffering severe structural problems. Designer Stantec, working with Thames Water and construction partner SMB, came up with a non-disruptive solution which involved strengthening the sewer from within with a stainless steel bridge. This was prefabricated in modules offsite and

delivered in parts through a small manhole, enabling the project to proceed without disrupting traffic or Underground trains. Components were less that 2m long and had to be assembled with millimetre precision.

TransportProject of the Year

This innovative £117M project has raised the profile of civil engineering in north east England. The 105m tall A-frame pylon was manufactured in Belgium and transported by sea and river to site, before being raised into position over two days. Loading the pylon onto barges in Belgium, and transporting it to site along the River Wear presented challenges. Low canal bridges, a night-time English Channel crossing and the shallow tidal draft in the

River Wear all had to be negotiated. The bridge deck was assembled in two parts on site and both sections were inched accurately from the south, through the pylon to create the 330m deck.

Judges’ comment“ An incredible phoenix from the flames story of how a small client turned around an ‘unbuildable design’”

Climate Resilience Project of the Year

Early contractor involvement and extensive stakeholder engagement were key to the success of this £46M flood defence project. Work in the densely populated area lining the Adur estuary affected numerous properties including, houses, houseboats and the local airport. The team held meetings with local stakeholders to gauge views and gather suggestions for shaping the final design. Work with commercial stakeholders enabled the

team to unlock sites for commercial development, for future expansion of the airport and for the construction of 1,000 new homes.

This category recognises projects that provide resilience for the impact of extreme weather and climate change on people, properties and businesses.

Judges’ comment“This project fosters and approach to rising water impacts in a balanced and sympathetic way”

Initiative of the Year

The A14 Integrated Delivery Team created a digital twin for the project’s delivery phase. By capturing live data from the field, it provides insight for decision makers, enabling earlier, more informed intervention, resulting in customer satisfaction and a reduction in harm. The digital twin was used to predict high risk activity by analysing data including positive and negative sentiments expressed. The result was an ability to predict a

“high risk” day with 75% accuracy. Data gathered by the digital twin also enabled the team to eliminate activities which added no value to the project.


The winner is the most outstanding initiative of the year and is decided by the panel of judges, primarily taking into account the scores awarded for potential industry impact.

Judges’ comment“This is a very smart initiative which will make an immediate impact ”

WinnerThe A14’s Digital Blueprint for Successful Infrastructure Delivery – A14 Integrated Delivery Team

Project of the Year Award

To get the new £33M headquarters of the Scottish National blood transfusion service completed on budget, the project team had to overcome a series of demanding technical requirements. The finished building houses blood and tissue testing laboratories as well as administration facilities and an IT support function. The challenge was to create a building design sympathetic to the development of an integrated team of people

from different disciplines. This resulted in a building layout which maximised the interaction between departments and included a communal arcade.


For a project which the judges consider to be particularly inspirational. Sponsored by Mott MacDonald.

Small Project of the Year

The Greener Grangetown sustainable drainage project is designed to prevent an average of 44,000m3 of surface water run-off entering the sewerage system annually. Local consultation informed the design which includes rain gardens where run off water is held back for slow release into the River Taff. The scheme involved retrofitting an already developed area of Victorian terraced houses in Cardiff, and as such required close

partnership between the city council, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water and Natural Resources Wales.

The project’s designers and the supply chain also worked closely together, enabling work to be streamlined. Bespoke prefabricated kerbs were designed to fit various arrangements and minimise on site cutting while providing a high quality finish. Public realm improvements were also important factors to reduce anti-social behaviour and crime.
