Stantec shortlisted for ICE London People's Choice Award

We are proud to announce that the King’s Scholars Pond (KSP) sewer rehabilitation project carried out on behalf of our Client Thames Water is one of ten projects shortlisted for the People’s Choice Award at this year’s Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) London Civil Engineering Awards.

The ICE London People’s Choice Award is chosen by the public. Voting is open from Friday 24 April at 10:00, closing on Monday 18 May at 17:00.

Celebrating outstanding civil engineering achievement, innovation and ingenuity, the ICE London People’s Choice Award recognises the civil engineering projects that have made a positive impact in their local communities, such as improving transport connections, reimaging public spaces and upgrading sewage systems.

The King’s Scholars Pond sewer is a critical piece of water infrastructure in London. This significant project in one of the capital’s busiest areas has had minimal disruption to the public, no impact on the roads above nor London Underground rails below due to the state-of-the-art solution, with the 1850’s-Bazalgette built tunnel also remaining in full wastewater operation throughout. Keyhole engineering was used to repair the 2.1m tall by 1.7m wide sewer from the inside and this solution has delivered an asset that is now capable of maintaining wastewater operation for a further 120 years with very little public knowledge of its existence.

The project is not only testament to exceptional project execution, Client care and stakeholder engagement but is also a demonstrable example of innovation when faced with extraordinary constraints. The possibility of catastrophic failure of the asset and the associated mass disruption to the public has been abated for many years to come.

Three voters will be chosen at random and will receive an ICE commemorative book, goody bag and, a private tour of the Institution’s headquarters at One Great George Street, Westminster (when safe to do so).
