A string of Birmingham projects took honours at the annual Institution of Civil Engineers West Midlands Awards.

The annual ceremony recognises the top built environment projects and professionals across the West Midlands region.

The communication award went to the Midland Metro Alliance for its campaign relating to the closure of Paradise Circus Queensway as part of the tram extension from New Street station to Centenary Square.

The judges felt the company's engagement team had made excellent use of multimedia channels to deliver messages to the public and were impressed with the regular meetings it held with businesses and residents.

Engineering firm Arup was named winner of the education and inspiration award for its work with local schools, colleges and universities across Birmingham and Solihull.
