On Thursday 26 August the New South Wales chapter for the Australian National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) hosted its annual Excellence Awards.
Arup is pleased to congratulate the following staff, successful in three of the 10 award categories.
Crystal Vision
Marianne Foley (leader of Arup's Sydney office) and Tony Constantino (CEO of Bovis Lend Lease) were jointly selected for the Rider Levett Bucknall Crystal Vision Award. The award is presented to people that actively encourage the career progression of women and promote participation in construction and affiliated industries.
Innovation in Design
Kathy Franklin received the Stockland Award for Innovation in Design for her role in the design of the damping systems for Kurilpa Bridge in Brisbane. The award, which recognises the achievement of women in design, was judged on innovation, unique design features across all disciplines, the ability to respond effectively to clients’ needs and the quality of work delivered.
Commitment and contribution
Hannah Mahony-Hayes received a merit award recognising the quality of her NAWIC University Scholarship application, and for demonstrating commitment and contribution to the construction industry.
Celebrating the achievements of women in the construction industry, the awards ceremony was held at the Westin Hotel and attended by 750 guests and industry representatives.
