In addition, the Connect Plus Services joint venture between Balfour, Atkins and Egis Road Operation also won the Temporary Works Award category for the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge expansion joint replacement.

Commenting on the National Graphene Institute BIM Award, Balfour's Design and BIM Programme Director, Peter Tribilcock, said: "We are delighted that the extensive application of BIM on this complex building project has been recognised.

"We believe this project and award stands as an exemplar of integration, coordination, supply chain engagement, direct links to off-site manufacturing and 'right first time execution'."
