Crossrails first CEEQUAL Whole Project Award
By Tajah-Chevelle Todd
Crossrail’s first CEEQUAL Whole Project Awards has been obtained by the Constain Skanska team for their work at Royal Oak portal.
CEEQUAL is the assessment and awards scheme for improving sustainability in civil engineering and the public realm. It aims to deliver improved project specification, design and construction and also improve environmental and social performance within the civil engineering industry.
Crossrail uses CEEQUAL as an assessment tool for construction work and has already been awarded CEEQUAL Excellent in the category of Clients and Interim Design. Achieving these awards and maintaining the Excellent standard is a step towards ensuring Crossrail delivers a sustainable railway and sets the right tone and standards for all Crossrail contracts to follow.
