STRUCTURAL STEEL DESIGN AWARDS 2018
Spotlight shines on steel sector’s
versatility at 50th SSDA Awards
Six projects were Award winners at this
year’s Structural Steel Design Awards
(SSDA) held on 3 October at Banqueting
House, Whitehall in London.
The six winning projects at the 50th
annual SSDA were Bloomberg London;
Jaguar Land Rover Engine Manufacturing
Centre; Knostrop Weir Foot and Cycle
Bridge, Leeds; London Bridge Station;
The Ordsall Chord Viaduct; and V&A’s
Exhibition Road Quarter, London.
From a shortlist of 22 projects, all of
this year’s entries scored highly in terms of
sustainability, cost-effectiveness, efficiency
and innovation, with eight schemes getting
Commendations and eight collecting
Merits.
Chairman of the Judges, Chris Nash said:
“In this 50th Anniversary year we have had
a particularly high number of entries to the
Award scheme. Together they represent an
impressive performance by the structural
steelwork industry.
“With a geographical spread across
the UK, we have a broad range of project
types and sizes, including large offices
and industrial premises, challenging
refurbishments, transport infrastructure,
education and leisure spaces, and a variety
of bridges.
“The view of the judges is that all of the
shortlisted projects are winners. And the
final list of Awards, Commendations and
Merits reflects the strength and diversity of
the steel construction industry.”
British Constructional Steelwork
Association President Tim Outteridge said:
“I really look forward to these awards. They
show how vibrant and innovative our sector
is, and they reinforce the UK’s position as
a world leader in steel construction. And
how fantastic is it that they’ve been going
for 50 years!
“A huge congratulations, to everyone
involved with the 22 projects awarded
tonight. Every single one of them really
showcases expertise and a passion for steel.
Thanks must also go to our awards
sponsor Trimble Solutions UK, who this
year has partnered with BCSA to deliver a
superb awards.”
