PPC set to sponsor Fulton Awards
Cement producer PPC has stepped in to sponsor the biennial “Oscars” of the concrete industry in 2015.
The Concrete Society of Southern Africa’s (CSSA’s) prestigious Fulton Awards recognised and rewarded excellence and innovation in the use of concrete.
PPC cement sales MD Richard Tomes said the awards, which celebrated the achievements of project teams in the built environment, were an indication of the “high standards of the skills and creativity” found among local construction professionals and contractors.
“As a company, we remain passionate about investing in initiatives and projects that advance excellence in concrete,” he said, highlighting the group’s commitment to “delivering on our promise of strength beyond the bag”.
The first Fulton Awards, a tribute to the late Dr Sandy Fulton for his contribution to the understanding, development and improvement of concrete, were held in 1979, said CSSA CEO John Sheath.
The award categories included civil engineering structure, building structure, architectural concrete, sustainable concrete, community structure and innovative construction.
PPC said two of its clients were presented with awards after the Department of Water Affairs’ flagship De Hoop dam project emerged as one of the winners in the civil engineering structure and sustainable concrete categories during the 2013 awards.
The judging panel said the work had led to “significant simplification of the construction process” and allowed “one of the highest” construction rates achieved in South Africa, with a peak of more than 130 000 m3 of roller compacted concrete placed in one month.
