PURPOSE
The 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. Concrete 2007 sees the continuation of international projects being eligible for an award.
 
AWARDS
Awards are made for significant contributions to the development of concrete technology and practice or to that of concrete construction as evidenced by:
  • the effective use of concrete in a building or structure that reached substantial completion in 2005, 2006 and 2007
  • research, publications, design innovations, material or plant improvements, educational or other activity
Awards, consisting of citations to members of the team responsible for the achievement, were presented at the Biennial Conference held in Adelaide, South Australia, from 18 to 20 October 2007.
 
THE KEVIN CAVANAGH MEDAL
In 1991 the Council of the Concrete Institute established a new award, the Kevin Cavanagh Medal for Excellence in Concrete, which would recognise an overall winner. This award will be judged from all winners* in both categories on the basis of being an outstanding contribution to the quality of concrete construction in Australia.
 
*International Projects are excluded from participating in this Award.
