Antony Oliver, editor of GE magazine commented:
“Although business continues to be extremely tough in the geotechnical market the GE Awards have once again demonstrated that investment in excellence continues to reap both short and long term rewards for clients. This year’s project winners are all outstanding examples of how technical expertise and innovation can combine to deliver exciting, sustainable and hugely valuable infrastructure.”Trevor Bamber, Celtic Site Manager commented:

“To have a project being shortlisted with such a diverse and excellent group of projects for a category in the GE awards 2011 is a great honour especially as it’s a recognition of Celtic’s and the Project Team’s hard work, high quality standards and achievements. It is particularly important as it is judged by our expert industry Peers which means a lot. To be compared against such a high quality list of Companies and projects and be rewarded by winning the GE award 2011 for Celtic’s and the project’s achievements, the project team and the Client are extremely proud. It is a great way to demonstrate in a technical way the capability of Celtic technologies Ltd”

Nine local projects make shortlist for ICE engineering excellence awards [...]

NGPH North Close, Aldershot, submitted by Celtic Technologies

1. Cost: £1.2 million
2. Location: Aldershot
3. Completed: November 2010
4. Client: National Grid Property Holdings
5. Designer and main contractor: Celtic Technologies Ltd
6. Partners: Davis Langdon, RSK STATS Environment Health and Safety Ltd

The North Close Aldershot project is a £1.2 million remediation of a former gas works site, currently an extremely busy Scotia Gas Networks depot. Works included in-situ stabilisation of three below ground gas holders, multi phase extraction and contaminant source reduction through excavation. The site’s location and current uses presented a number of challenges to the remediation team including the current tenant’s site usage and operations, the presence of live gas infrastructure and gas mains passing through remedial areas, an electrical substation and close-by residential properties, commercial and industrial units. Continuous public presentation with local councils, ward councillors, residents, tenants, neighbours and businesses ensured the local community was kept informed. 

For their National Grid Property Holdings Site, Celtic Technologies Ltd has won a Bronze Considerate Constructors Scheme 2011 National Award.

The site was particularly commended for the high standards reached in the categories of:

Considerate
Environment
Cleanliness
Neighbour
Respectful
Responsible
Accountable

and for its exceptional achievements in the categories of:

Safe

This site was a credit to Celtic Technologies Ltd and to the site team.
