Project Awards information

Projects will be judged on their overall structural engineering achievement based on the following four criteria:  ​ 

1. Technicality - Overcoming technical challenges throughout the life of the project and a design making it stand out in a unique way structurally
2. Innovation - New and unique ways of addressing constraints and challenges throughout the project going beyond the standards of the building code
   
3. Sustainability - Commitment to sustainability through efficient use of materials and labor, resilience, circular economy principles, and/or embodied carbon reduction
   
4. Collaboration - Design and construction team collaboration for the successful completion of the project where design aspects were critically influenced by the community

• Specialized Structures and Specialized Elements:

• 
  

• In the past the project category of Specialized (non-building) Structures included both structures and elements of a project. This year, those will be divided up into two different categories.

  Specialized Structures will now be defined as non-building structures that are supported on their own and are contained within their own project. Examples of Specialized Structures include but are not limited to: pavilions, pedestrian bridges, aqueducts and locks, and sculptures.

  Specialized Elements are defined as elements of a larger building project that demonstrate unique structural capabilities. Examples of Specialized Elements include but are not limited to: monumental staircases, balconies, transfer girders, and structural strengthening.
