IRFT Nets HBPW Another Award Nomination

HBPW is in the spotlight again after being shortlisted for one of the British Construction Industry Awards’ prestigious gongs. The Immingham Renewable Fuels Terminal scheme has been included in the Major Civil Engineering Project of the Year Category for Projects over £50m.

Managing Partner, Paul Withers, said: “HBPW is justifiably proud to be associated with such an amazing feat of construction and civil engineering. As the design engineers, we worked alongside Associated British Ports and Graham Construction to deliver this mammoth project which has created a storage facility for wood pellets, imported from around the world, ahead of their onward transmission to UK power stations via rail, principally to Drax near Selby in North Yorkshire.

“We have had many years’ experience developing facilities for the handling and storage of biomass at major power stations and ports around the UK, so this nomination is not only a feather in our cap, but testimony to the excellent working relationship between ourselves, the contractor and client.”

The BCI Awards, said to be the only ones of their type to have the backing of the Prime Minister via the PM’s Better Public Building Award, seek to recognise and reward excellence in project delivery, design and construction.

They are also the only awards that call on the entire project team to showcase their work and demonstrate their project’s positive impact on society, to a panel of expert judges.

Winners of the 30th BCI Awards will be announced at a gala dinner on 11th October at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
