Enhanced Environments
Nominees:
WINNER: NEAR South Team
▪ Sajni Vekaria, Chloe Fowler, Robert Stevenson, Annie Harris, Kafai Liu for embedding PAS2080 carbon management system across NEAR South ▪ M1 NEAR North Site Team went beyond the given legal requirements to protect an unexpected find of bluebells
Natural England dormouse licenses were needed for critical path works across NEAR South, which was the biggest risk to scheme at the time because of the timescales for issuing licences. Vinod and Dominic embodied a truly collaborative approach with DED, Thomson Ecology & Natural England to work through the requirements to achieve licenses being issued in unprecedented tight timescales. The collaborative approach and hard work from the everyone involved not only allowed works to continue through the summer having completed site clearance on critical areas, but also enabled the team to start working on one of the bays ahead of programme. It has set a new benchmark for how we can work with Natural England to achieve what some had deemed ‘impossible’.
