CECA’s latest annual report showcases the strength of civil engineering in Wales.

Even though margins are tight and contract opportunities are limited, it is clear from the CECA annual report for 2013 that civil engineering in Wales is in a robust and confident mood. Despite the economic circumstances the construction industry is dealing with civil engineers throughout Wales are setting an example by promoting training and skills development. What’s more it adheres to the principles of best practice and collaborative working seeking to maximise local employment, respecting the environment, operating safely and focusing on quality and value for money.

CECA make the bold claim that civil engineering and construction can lead Wales out of the recession, if afforded the opportunity and confidence of others to do so. Nick Richards, chairman of CECA Wales probably has a point too. If the whole industry can engage with Government and make the connection with clients in the private and public sector to agree a vision for Wales then the Welsh built environment supply chain can once again leave some lasting legacies in terms of essential infrastructure – perhaps via the Major Project Delivery Task Group.

CECA is a major stakeholder in the Welsh construction industry as well as a strong supporter of CEW.  Its annual report is well worth a read – click here to view the PDF or call our team on 02920 493322 to access a copy.
