The companies behind Phase Two of the Brough Relief Road in East Riding, Yorkshire, have been recognised for their work at a prestigious awards ceremony.

Engineering consultancy Pell Frischmann, local contractors CR Reynolds, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council won the Institution of Civil Engineers Certificate of Excellence award for the project.

The ICE annual awards recognise achievement, excellence or innovation in civil engineering projects in the past two years. Criteria for the awards include the value and impact on society, sustainability, health and safety, quality of design, best practice, difficulty and response, and collaboration. 


The winning project involved extending the existing relief road and providing a link to the 125-acre Brough South development site.

Once completed, Brough South is expected to include 750 new homes, new healthcare facilities and care facilities for the elderly, a new primary school, natural play environments, supermarket and retail units and an ecological zone adjacent to the Humber.

Damian Kilburn, Transport and Infrastructure Director, Pell Frischmann, said: "We are delighted to have won this prestigious award which continues our long-term, successful relationship with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

"The completion of this project represented a significant landmark in the progress of Brough South, that will enhance the town's prosperity with the creation of hundreds of new jobs and homes, new amenities and much-needed traffic infrastructure improvements."

The project team received the ICE prize at the Institution of Civil Engineers Annual Yorkshire & Humber Awards on Friday 15 March at Sheffield City Hall.
