THE LOW TEMPERATURE Asphalt Demonstration in Leicestershire was declared winner of the small projects award at the regions’ major civil engineering event of the year, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) East Midlands Awards 2015 which took place at the The Belfry Hotel, Nottingham on 5th June. One of the major events of the regional built environment calendar, the 2015 Awards recognised outstanding examples of East Midlands’ design and construction completed in 2014. The low temperature asphalt demonstration project competed with 44 other projects from across the region to gain its well-deserved win. David Balmforth, ICE President 2014-15 and Adrian Coy, Vice President 2014-2015 presented the awards at a ceremony during a black-tie dinner attended by over 360 guests. The Small Projects Award celebrates safety and environmental management, innovation and project design application. The judges said: “The demonstration project claimed to be the first use of low temperature asphalt on the Strategic Road Network in the UK and could have significant benefits in reducing carbon emissions and works time reductions.” The project also celebrates the state-of-the-art Explore DfMA (Design for Manufacture Approach) and pre-casting facility that Laing O’Rourke has established in the heart of the East Midlands.” Congratulations to client, Highways England and partners, A-One+ and Lafarge Tarmac. The potential benefits of using warm mix asphalt on the strategic road network are very significant. Recognising this A-one+ in collaboration with Lafarge Tarmac and the Highways Agency undertook a demonstration project on the A46 at Cossington. The objective was to demonstrate there was no detriment in using these materials and to quantify the benefits to this project and potentially across Area 7, as well as the whole national high speed network in terms of cost and sustainability. The potential savings in Area 7 include 700 tonnes of carbon and a reduction in time that road works affect the network of 800 hours. ICE East Midlands Chairman, Andy Warrington who presided over this year’s awards ceremony said: “These awards are a great opportunity to celebrate the civil engineering profession with the inspirational people and teams delivering projects across our region. Congratulations to A-One+, client, Highways England and partners, Lafarge Tarmac for gaining this top award.” Read more about great civil engineering projects on Twitter hashtag #thisisicivilengineering
