AtkinsRéalis, Balfour, BAM, O’Rourke among the finalists for Digital Construction Awards 2024

The firm’s work on Sizewell C is recognised in the Best Use of Data on a Project. The AtkinsRéalis-WSP joint venture’s work on the A83 is also nominated for Best Application of Technology.

Work on and people involved in Hinkley Point C secured four nominations: the combination of EDF UK, Accenture and Dassault Systemes is shortlisted for both Best Application of Technology and Digital Collaboration of the Year; and EDF UK staff Savannagh Armstrong and Isabella Noble are recognised in the Rising Star of the Year category.

Sir Robert McAlpine features on three shortlists, twice as part of the Integrated Health Partners joint venture with Vinci on Bournemouth Hospital (Best Application of Technology and Best Use of Data on a Project). The contractor’s work on 1 Broadgate is also shortlisted in the Delivering Sustainability with Digital Innovation category.

Laing O’Rourke is nominated three times for: the Olympia redevelopment (Best Application of Technology); its GIS work on East West Rail (Digital Innovation in Productivity); and Ben Hardie, one of its digital engineers, who features on the Rising Star of the Year shortlist.

Balfour Beatty’s work with its client and key supply chain partners on the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital is shortlisted for Digital Construction Project of the Year and Digital Collaboration of the Year.

But it’s not all about the established major contractors. Digital Contractor of the Year features the likes of McLaren, McLaughlin & Harvey and PCE competing against BAM UK & Ireland. The Best Use of Data on a Project sees construction technology start-up Disperse facing off against the likes of Skanska and AtkinsRéalis.

And another start-up, Lattice, is shortlisted for its part in the ULEZ expansion signage project (Digital Construction Project of the Year and Digital Innovation in Asset Management), and for Product Innovation of the Year.
