CEEQUAL
is the assessment and awards scheme for improving sustainability
in civil engineering and public realm projects. It is being promoted
by the ICE and a group of committed industry organisations such
as CIRIA, CECA and ACE. Its objective is to encourage the attainment
of environmental excellence in civil engineering, and thus to
deliver improved environmental and social performance in project
specification, design and construction.
CEEQUAL
CEEQUAL celebrates
the achievement of high environmental and social performance in
civil engineering and public realm projects. Awards are made to
projects in which the clients, designers and contractors go beyond
the legal and environmental minima to achieve distinctive standards
of performance.
CEEQUAL:
- Promotes improved sustainability in project specification,
- Design
and construction demonstrates the commitment of the civil engineering
industry to environmental quality,
- Assesses
performance across 12 areas of environmental and social concern
provides a checklist of appropriate action for project teams.
CEEQUAL
uses a rigorous points-scoring-based assessment, which is applicable
to any civil engineering or public realm project and includes
environmental and social aspects such as the use of water, energy
and land, impacts on ecology, landscape, neighbours, archaeology,
as well as waste minimisation and management, and community relations
and amenity.
