BuroHappold were recognised as the overall Digital Engineering Champion, after judges noted that not only had they achieved excellent technical solutions, but they had taken a truly collaborative approach to developing their toolsets and processes and had even gone as far as open sourcing their code to encourage wider industry collaboration.
They also won in three categories: Best Consultancy; Best Innovation; and Best Process and Application.
Arcadis took the award in the Best project/collaboration – small category, for their project ‘London Underground, step free access tranche-2’, which won due to their application of digital tools enabling a diverse team to work together, and allowing virtual site visits.
