Awards for Excellence
PURPOSE
Concrete Institute of Australia was established to encourage the development of concrete technology and practice in Australia, and to foster improvements in the standard of concrete construction. To recognise the many significant contributions to these objectives and to publicise the many excellent examples of concrete structures erected in Australia each year, the Institute established a Biennial Awards Scheme in 1971.
