The 2008 Entry form can be downloaded here. 1. The purpose of the award is to recognise excellence in Civil Engineering in Scotland. The Awards are supported by the Scottish Executive, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (Scotland), the Building and Civil Engineering Benefit Schemes the Association of Consulting Engineers and the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management. 2. There are five categories of entry: (1) the Project as a whole; (2) the Design of the project; (3) the Construction of the project; (4) the Conservation elements of the project and (5) the Environmental Sustainability Construction of the project. 3. Only projects completed during the previous two calendar years may be nominated for an award. A project may be entered in more than one category but separate nomination forms should be completed for each category. 4. Submitted projects may involve all aspects of civil engineering, viz. (a) Transportation - (roads, railways, airports - including bridges and tunnels). (b) Public Services - (drainage, sewerage, sewage treatment, water supply and treatment, oil, gas and electricity generation and transmission). (c) Marine/waterway - (docks and harbours, coastal and river works, canals, offshore works). (d) Structures - (other civil engineering projects, including the structural aspects of buildings, not covered by the above). (e) Conservation - (refurbishment and repair of historic civil engineering works). (f) Environmental - (civil engineering works for environmental projects). Where a multi-discipline project is entered for an award, the adjudication will be made on the civil engineering features of the project. Entries should therefore focus on these features. 5. The Awards and Commendations will be made to those projects which advance civil engineering by a combination of the following aspects: 5.01: The Project: all the aspects detailed in 5.02 and 5.03 with particular attention being paid to their integration. 5.02: Design: excellence in concept, originality of design, suitability for purpose, performance, aesthetic and environmental harmony, economy of materials and labour, benefit to the community, overall management of project, outstanding or special merit. 5.03: Construction: ingenuity, enterprise, economy of construction, physical achievement, skill of execution, quality of construction, performance, overall management of project, outstanding or special merit. 5.04: Conservation: Entries to this category will involve the restoration and refurbishment of older projects that have recognisable excellence in civil engineering, all aspects of 5.02 and 5.03 are relevant to this category. 5.05: Environmentally Sustainable Construction: Entries to this category will involve civil engineering projects which make a significant contribution to improving the environment. Again all aspects of 5.02 and 5.03 are relevant to this category. Advice in this category may be taken from S.E.P.A. 5.06: The magnitude of a project will not be a primary consideration in adjudication. Completed well-defined sections of a major project may be submitted. 6. The Award is specially recognised by a stainless steel plaque (to be fixed to the structure) and certificates, for the client and the appropriate firms. Certificates will also be presented to the appropriate bodies, as above, for commended projects. 7. The awards and commendations will normally be presented in the presence of the President of the Saltire Society and the President of the Institution of Civil Engineers at a ceremony to be held alternately in Edinburgh and Glasgow. There will be an exhibition of entries at the I.C.E. dinners in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and thereafter at appropriate public venues. The 2007 award ceremony will take place in Edinburgh on Wednesday 31 October 2007. 8. The Award Panel will comprise a chairman, appointed by the Saltire Society; a secretary appointed by the panel; two representatives from each of the two Scottish Associations of the Institution of Civil Engineers; one from the Civil Engineering Contractors Assocation (Scotland), the Association of Consulting Engineers and a representative of the Scottish Executive and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency. To ensure both continuity and change, the appointment of panel members will normally be for an initial four year period. In the event of a member of the Award Panel being associated with a nominated project, that member shall declare an interest and withdraw from the relevant part of the adjudication. 9. Anybody, including members of the public may nominate a project for an award but entries must be submitted by either public authorities, companies, consulting engineers, contractors or members of the Institution of Civil Engineers. 10. It is mandatory that agreement to submit an entry in any of the categories is obtained from both the client and the appropriate designers and/or contractors 11. . Members of the Panel will carry out a site inspection of all entries and it is expected that representatives of the Client and the designers and/or contractors will attend this meeting. 12. The Saltire Society cannot enter into correspondence about the results.
