INGENIUM EXCELLENCE AWARDS

The 2010 INGENIUM Excellence Awards will be presented in Christchurch at the 2010 INGENIUM Conference (to be held in June 2010). The INGENIUM Excellence Awards are for infrastructure projects (where "projects" is defined in the broadest sense) and entries are welcome from any organisations in New Zealand involved in the field of public infrastructure. For the 2010 Awards there will be four categories:

(a)   Physical works projects under $2 million,

(b)   Physical works projects over $2 million,

(c)  Projects of investigations, reporting, systems, processes, etc, and

(d)  AssetManagement Practice.

For categories (a), (b) and (c), in addition to the technical aspect, entries are judged on the following criteria: economics, environmental, social, cultural, consultation and innovation. For category (d) entries are judged on the application of the concepts and processes in the NAMS manuals.

If you would like to receive the detailed information on the awards, please contact INGENIUM Administration Assistant Gina Calder by email (admin@ingenium.org.nz). You will need this detailed information in order to enter.

Entries close at 5pm on Thursday 1 April 2010.
