Consulting engineering firm Moroff & Kuhne won this year’s Engineering Excellence award for projects with a value greater than R250-million, at the Consulting Engineers South Africa (Cesa) Aon Engineering Excellence Awards, for work done on The Point shopping and lifestyle centre.

This involved the redevelopment of the old Galleria building at 76 Regent road, Sea Point, in Cape Town, into a 28 000 m2 centre, which required additional undercover parking for shoppers and tenants.

A fourth basement was created over the full extent of the building footprint, while anchor tenants were fully operational.

Meanwhile, Bosch Projects received the award in the category for Engineering Excellence for projects valued between R50-million and R250-million for the Bronkhorstspruit biogas project, carried out on behalf of industrial-scale biogas waste-to-energy company Bio2Watt – the first project of its kind in Africa.

Bosch was responsible for the design, project management and construction of the project, which would provide green energy to a private industrial consumer through an agreement between the City of Tshwane and Eskom. 

Royal HaskoningDHV won the award for Engineering Excellence for a project valued at less than R50-million for the National Bioproducts Institute’s  microbiological laboratory upgrade. The laboratory manufactured plasma-derived medicinal products.

Infrastructure development company Bigen Africa received the award for the Best International Project, for the R6-billion Botswana North–South Carrier 2: Water Transfer System, carried out on behalf of the Botswana Ministry of Minerals, Energy & Water Resources. Bigen also received the award in the Business Excellence category.

The Development Bank of Southern Africa received the Visionary Client of the Year award, which was sponsored by Santam.

YOUNG ENGINEERS
To promote the industry to young professionals, Cesa also recognised young engineers’ contribution to the industry and to the future of the profession, with Aurecon’s Geoff du Toit receiving the Young Engineer of the Year award.

Bigen Africa won the Mentoring Company of the Year award, while Royal HaskoningDHV’s Colin Andrews received the Mentor of the Year award.
