Aveng Grinaker-LTA took top honours at the Construction World Magazine’s annual Best Projects Awards Ceremony
in Johannesburg on 4 November 2015. The construction company’s Majuba Incremental Launch Bridge Project was awarded first place in the Civil Engineering Contractor Category, and its Sasol Process Water Cooling Towers Project received a Special Mention.
“This award gives recognition to well-engineered civil engineering projects, and we are proud that our Majuba project was amongst the winners for the evening,” says Chris Botha, Operating Group Managing Director, Aveng Grinaker-LTA.
The Majuba Vaal River Bridge is part of the larger R1.2 billion Eskom Majuba Rail Project which aims to enable the change from road to rail transportation of coal to the utility’s power stations.
This award comes soon after Aveng was honoured at two other industry functions in October.
Aveng was named Best Contractor of the Year at the 8th Annual South African Construction Awards (SACA) ceremony on 2 October 2015. At the SAICE-SAFCEC Awards Gala Event for the Most Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievements for 2014/2015, Aveng Grinaker-LTA’s Department of Environmental Affairs Head Office project was awarded the Best Project Management and Construction Award in the SAICE Technical Division and in the Specialist Contractor Category.
“These awards seek to recognise outstanding achievement in the construction of buildings, taking into account a wide range of factors including architectural and engineering design, delivery to time and budget, and client satisfaction,” says Mr Botha. “Winning these awards is testament to the quality of our workmanship and project management capacity that is within Aveng Grinaker-LTA.”
