  Congratulations to our Winner  |  2 Million Construction Hours without a Lost Time Injury on HMNB Devonport
  10 Dock Redevelopment - Babcock International Group

Babcock International Group’s Major Infrastructure Programme (MIP) has been established to oversee a portfolio of significant design and construction of facilities and infrastructure at Devonport Royal Dockyard (Devonport).

The MIP 10 Dock Redevelopment Project is delivering an Astute Class submarine overhaul facility. The project has completed all enabling works, including demolition of existing buildings and cranes, services removal, roads and networks enhancements, wall and floor stabilisation, and the introducing of temporary accommodation. Over two million construction hours have been achieved within the CDM site so far, and all without a single Lost Time Injury.

Judges comments

A very impressive entry from Babcock- with a result that’s hard to ignore: two million hours without Lost Time Accidents. Located on an island site, within a large military dockyard, the Project Management Plan set out clear safety objectives - not only for the workforce, but also contractors, customers and the public. Particular praise from the panel for integrating Babcock’s best in class ethos, which will drive a culture of safety across the organization in future.

 Finalist  Heathrow T2 Baggage Programme: Safety in Design - AECOM

This entry is based around how the Safety in Design processes on a large scale and highly complex construction ‘programme’ of works, were completely reinvigorated through the innovation of BIM Technology to automate, streamline and completely change how Safety in Design is managed across Heathrow Airport Construction Projects and throughout AECOM internally.

This will change the shift focus from lagging to ‘leading’ within health & safety in design, across the industry.
