Representatives from the Eaves Green Link Road project attended Civils 2009 to receive a CEEQUAL ‘Excellent’ Award. The scheme was completed in partnership with Lancashire County Council by Birse Civils North West Region.

 

CEEQUAL is the Civil Engineering Environmental Quality Assessment Scheme that is improving sustainability in civil engineering and public realm projects. The award was presented by the former President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Dr Jean Venables, OBE, to Wai Kee Leung, Lancashire County Council Project Manager, Troy Dunne, Birse Civils Sub-Agent, and Perry Shard, Balfour Beatty Regional Civil Engineering, who was the Scheme Assessor.

 

The project attained the highest level of award, with a score of 80.5% on the Whole Project Award basis. This considers the Client, Design and Construction stages. The project now joins an elite list of only 55 schemes which have attained acknowledgement for their environmental credentials.

 

North West Civils has received three Whole Project Awards, all attaining the top ‘Excellent’ Award. There are currently three further schemes registered for completion over the coming two years. North West Civils are establishing an enviable reputation for exemplary environmental achievements. They are continuing to work with enlightened customers, such as Lancashire County Council, who are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of CEEQUAL registration and accreditation.
