Flagship restoration project scoops RIBA London Award
The five-year restoration project was the largest repair and conservation programme in the building’s more than 160- year history.
Alongside our supply chain partners, Nick Sturge (Project Manager) and our project team delivered everything from the restoration of the external fabric and the clock mechanism itself, to the installation of energy efficient lighting.
Acknowledged as the most iconic building in this year’s awards, the judges cited the project as ‘a veritable masterclass in conservation and craftsmanship’.
“The preservation of such incredible skill, workmanship and material appreciation for the nation is one of the defining achievements of the project,” the judges said.
“This went hand in hand with harnessing contemporary technologies and techniques to enable effective project coordination and implementation of more sustainable approaches, to preserve this defining symbol of British heritage for the future.”
The RIBA UK Awards celebrate great architecture across the UK. Successful projects reflect changes and innovations in architecture, but at their core display a commitment to designing and developing buildings and spaces that improve and enhance people's lives.
Nick Sturge, Project Manager, Sir Robert McAlpine Special Projects, and Shauna Farrell, Chief Engineer, Sir Robert McAlpine Special Projects, share the "once in a lifetime" experience of working on the restoration of the Elizabeth Tower.
