Entries are welcome from projects of all sizes, with smaller schemes recognised separately to large projects. Projects with a turnover of £2 million or less can enter for free (standard entry fee is £450).
Categories include: Greatest Contribution to Scotland; Best Infrastructure Project; Innovation; Building; Sustainability and Resilience; Heritage and Restoration; and Community.Â
Ainslie McLaughlin, convenor of the awards judging panel said, “The Scottish Civil Engineering Awards are a unique opportunity to showcase the success of Scotland’s civil engineers and to highlight the real difference civil engineering makes to the everyday life of Scotland’s citizens, enhancing well-being and the environment around us. The awards recognise projects of all sizes and entry is free for smaller projects.  Last year’s event was a huge success and the panel are really looking forward to receiving this year’s entries and to once again celebrating Scotland’s proud engineering tradition.”
