CIOB Celebrates the Winners of the International Innovation &
Research Awards 2005/06
Winners of the CIOB’s ninth annual International
Innovation and Research Awards were announced at the
CIOB’s headquarters in Ascot.
It is estimated that £1.2bn annually is spent on
research and development in the construction industry
worldwide. Through the International Innovation and
Research Awards the CIOB contributes to I & R activities
through the recognition and celebration of outstanding
research from across the world.
Brian Wilson from the University of Northumbria won this
year's Undergraduate Dissertation Award for his paper on
'First Planning in Construction' which investigated the
progress made to recent developments in planning and
control as captured in the Last Planner.
Commenting on his achievement Brian said, "It was a
great pleasure to attend the awards evening and to have
the opportunity to present my research study in such an
attractive location. I would like to express my sincere
thanks to the CIOB again for the award."
Petra Rudloff from the University of Reading won the
Masters Dissertation Award. This new award was
established for research into urban regeneration and the
Judging Panel felt her entry critically examined the
process, roles and outcomes in managing urban
regeneration projects.
Jim Barrack, John Forrest and David Smith MCIOB were the
winners of the Innovation Competition for their TILT-DAM
invention. With an increased incidence of flooding in
recent years involving significant consequential
financial and personal cost, a permanent yet visually
appealing solution is required. TILT-DAM fulfils these
requirements with the added bonus of being quick to
deploy.
Commenting on their award Jim Barrack said, "I am
indebted to CIOB for this valued recognition of a
British invention designed to provide protection for
properties at risk from the ravages of flooding. I hope
that this will assist in establishing TILT-DAM in the UK
market as the first self-help system for flood defence."
Dr Sai On Cheung MCIOB, Donald Choi and Keith Ng MCIOB
won the new Faculty of Architecture and Surveying
Innovation Award for their Control of Variations and
Instructions (CVI) web based cost control innovation.
The Judging Panel were impressed with the level of
collaborative working between City University of Hong
Kong and Nan Fung Development Ltd and the involvement of
an integrated team from different professional
backgrounds in its development. CVI enables timely
confirmation and approval of variation.
Dr Sai On Cheung said, "The CIOB Innovation Awards are a
timely response to the call for innovation for the
advancement of the construction industry. We are most
encouraged that our efforts in making use of I.T. to
solve a long standing cost control problem are
recognised by the construction community."
