Essex Highways shortlisted for three CIHT Awards

We are delighted that our colleagues in Essex Highways have been shortlisted for three awards in the 2025 Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) Awards. 

The prestigious awards celebrate excellence and innovation within the highways, transport and infrastructure sector. 

The shortlisting is for the following categories: 

• CIHT Decarbonisation Award - for a project to improve an existing, weak culvert at Bridge Farm with a CIPP structural liner reducing carbon emissions by 75%. This innovative approach minimised environmental impact and shortened the construction period from 16 weeks to two, and resulted in a solution that preserves historic aesthetics and delivers long-term durability. We are now implementing solutions away from typical standards across ten other projects. 
• CIHT Team of the Year Award - the Harlow LCWIP 9 scheme is a prime example of a truly collaborative and highly successful team approach through engagement across the company, partners and supply chain to deliver a £1.95m Active Travel Fund project one and a half months ahead of programme, and 4% under budget all while managing a challenging programme and high partner expectations. 
• CIHT Technical and Digital Transformation Award - for an innovative approach taken to the adoption and development of Route Reports; an AI-based video inspection system which revolutionised our inspection process. The tool focused on efficiency and integration, resulting in substantial time and cost savings. 

The shortlisting is a great honour and a testament to the hard work of our colleagues in Essex Highways. 

We are very much looking forward to the awards event at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London in June,.
