On Friday, September 20, 530 guests joined the Civil Contractors Federation WA at Crown Perth for the biggest-ever annual Earth Awards for excellence in civil construction, honouring major government transport, water and maritime infrastructure projects.
Alcolizer Technology was a proud sponsor of the event with seven award categories, from projects valued under $2 million to projects valued over $150 million. The Earth Awards is all about celebrating the industry, showcasing capabilities, and recognising the talent and commitment of dedicated project teams.
The highest value category, for projects over $150 million, was a tight three-way contest between major transport projects Tonkin Gap, Yanchep Rail Extension, and the New Fitzroy River Bridge, with the Tonkin Gap project just prevailing.
In the $75 million – $150 million category, State-owned land developer DevelopmentWA’s Ocean Reef Marina Breakwaters project just edged out the Thomas Road Over Rail Bridge, while Water Corporation’s Quinns Main Sewer project claimed the Earth Award in the $30 million – $75 million category.
CCF WA Chief Executive Officer Andy Graham said the dominance of State Government projects in the high-value project categories underlined the importance of public infrastructure to the civil construction sector.
Friday night’s Earth Awards gala dinner was a celebration of infrastructure achievements big and small, with 21 finalists across the seven categories. Congratulations to all the WA Earth Award winners and we wish them well at the National Earth Awards in Canberra in November.
