Two major projects in the Humber region have been shortlisted at the 30th British Construction Industry Awards 2017.
Green Port Hull and Immingham Renewable Fuel Terminal have both been shortlisted in the Major Civil Engineering Project of the Year (over £50m) category at the British Construction Industry Awards, which recognises and rewards excellence in project delivery, design, construction and delivering outcomes for society.
National construction firm GRAHAM has been recognised for its work at Green Port Hull; a joint venture with Lagan Construction, and the Immingham Renewable Fuel Terminal, for ABP.
GRAHAM Lagan Construction JV performed the design and construction of the works at Green Port Hull for the end user Siemens’ off shore wind turbine manufacturing facilities. The scheme included infilling one third of Hull’s Alexandra Dock with 780,000 m3 of material and reclaiming 7.5 ha of the river to create a new 650m quay wall, which can accommodate three offshore wind installation vessels.
Immingham Renewable Fuels Terminal was a £130 million project involving the design and construction of a facility for importing, storing and onward transfer of renewable fuels (wood pellets) at the Port of Immingham.
Judges will visit both sites and carry out rigorous interviews as part of the selection process. The results will be announced at a Gala Awards Dinner, held at Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London, on Wednesday 11th October 2017.
Ian Schofield, Group Head of Asset Management from ABP, said: “We are delighted to hear that GRAHAM has been shortlisted by the British Construction Industry for the design and delivery of two major projects for ABP. The company¹s work on the Immingham Renewable Fuel Terminal, and its joint venture with Lagan at Green Port Hull. Both projects are now significantly contributing to ABPs key strategic objective of Keeping Britain Trading, and we wish our partners from both companies the very best of luck at the awards ceremony in October.”
Leo Martin, Executive Director at GRAHAM, said: “We’re really pleased to be shortlisted at the BCI Awards, which is a prestigious and highly recognised awards ceremony. To be shortlisted twice is a credit to our planning, design and project teams, which on both of these projects have demonstrated professionalism, collaboration and a dedication to completing the work to the highest standards.
“ABP is one of our key clients which we have an excellent relationship with, and so to be shortlisted for two projects with them is fantastic. We have enjoyed working with them on several schemes and look forward to further collaborations in future.
“Both of the shortlisted projects have been high-profile civil engineering schemes which will play a key role in generation of renewable energy. We are incredibly proud to have been shortlisted for these awards and we look forward to the judges’ visit and awards ceremony in October.”
