SA Engineers Australia recognised the construction achievements of the Techport Australia Common User Facility (CUF) team with two significant awards at the 2010 South Australian Engineering Excellence Awards.

As well as being judged the winner in the Infrastructure Projects category, the CUF received the overall highest recognition for an engineering project with the prestigious Malcolm Kinnaird Engineering Excellence Award.

The two awards were accepted by Andrew Fletcher, CEO, Defence SA and Jim Frith, Managing Director, Built Environs on behalf of the Aurecon, Built Environs, Defence SA, McConnell Dowell and Rolls-Royce project and award submission team.

The Engineering Excellence Awards have very strict submission criteria and are highly regarded in the engineering profession. Receiving the Malcolm Kinnaird Engineering Excellence Award in particular is something of a crowning achievement for the project team.

Having won the South Australian Division awards, the CUF is now nominated for the 2010 Australian Engineering Excellence Awards in Canberra in November.

Built Environs’s work on the CUF has now been recognised with five awards, with the other three being an AIPM Project Management Achievement Award, a CCF Earth Award, and an MBA award for engineering excellence – an impressive list, and one that highlights just what our engineering teams can achieve.
