THE Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Centre construction project has scooped two top prizes at a national awards ceremony.
The scheme won the categories of ‘Constructions First Impressions’ and ‘Innovation of the Year’ at this year’s Considerate Constructors Scheme‘s National Ultra Site Awards in London. The main contractor on the project is Robertson.
Highways England’s A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme took the event’s top honour, winning the ‘2019 Ultra Site of the Year Award’.
Ultra Sites are described as the ‘pinnacle of excellence’ across the construction industry.
Considerate Constructors Scheme chief executive Edward Hardy said, “Special congratulations to each award-winning Ultra Site and award-winning supplier who have set the bar of considerate construction to an exceptional level. Congratulations also to each finalist, whose efforts in driving greater collaboration across their supply chain is commended.
“Ultra Sites represent a real turning point for the construction industry, by providing a way for the industry to work more collaboratively and realise the benefits of this greater integration for their workforce, community and environment. The winners and finalists of these awards range from small scale local projects through to large scale regional multi billion pound projects. This clearly shows how the Ultra Site model can be embraced by any type of construction activity, no matter the size, scale or budget.”
This year, there were a total of ten Ultra Site award categories and, for the first time, the top-performing supplier within six of these award categories were also honoured with a special individual recognition award.
