CEW Award Winners 2013 - Integration & Collaboration: Size Does Not Matter – Collaboration Does
 |
Often the biggest and most complex of projects either suffer from organisational failure or succeed to such a degree that they become renowned examples of best practice. That is exactly what happened at Harbour Way – the final section of the Port Talbot peripheral distributor road. At £107m it is the largest transport project for Wales since the building of the M4 motorway and a vital link not only to West Wales and the motorway network, but to mainland Europe. It is a technically complex project with important multiple stakeholders including Tata Steel, Network Rail and client Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (NPTCBC).
As lead contractor it fell to Costain to make the project work and along with the Council, design consultants Arup and key supply-chain partners achieved a remarkable degree of integration. Not only did their work help complete 4.5km of dual carriageway, two new site entrances for the Tata steelworks and the construction of a major road bridge over the main Swansea to London railway line it won the CEW Award for Integration & Collaboration in 2013 and the CE National Award.

CEW Awards - Deadline for submissions: Monday 3rd March - 12 noon - Less Than 2 Weeks Away!
|
Welcome to the eighth year of the Constructing Excellence in Wales awards. Our awards are recognised across the Welsh built environment as the biggest and brightest celebration of best practice.
Competition for the CEW Awards is always tough because the industry wants to showcase its talent at the premier ceremony. Every year we receive more entrants and despite the difficult economic climate that has affected the industry in recent years, the standard continues to rise. So, we’re challenging the Welsh engineers, designers, builders and everyone else in the supply chain to step up and enter our awards.
Each category gives an opportunity for all those involved in the Welsh built environment to demonstrate their achievements and promote the principles of collaborative working and best practice. You can get a flavour of this from the quality of the winning candidates from the 2013 awards.
Descriptions of all category criteria, how to enter and the entry form can be found on our website
