Worcestershire Parkway crowned West Midlands' top civil engineering project

Institution of Civil Engineers heaps praise on 'highly impressive' first new station in the county for more than a century

Worcestershire Parkway station has been crowned overall winner at the Institution of Civil Engineers West Awards 2020

A new railway station which opened in February has been crowned the West Midlands' top civil engineering project for 2020.

Worcestershire Parkway in the village of Norton has provided a new transport hub which connects directly with nearby Worcester, Birmingham, Oxford and London.

It won the large project and geotechnical categories before being crowned the overall winner at the 2020 Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) West Midlands Awards which were held online last night.

Worcestershire Parkway is the first train station to be opened in the county in more than a century and the project was led by SLC Rail, Worcestershire County Council, Mott MacDonald and Buckingham Group Contracting.

The station, which was in the pipeline for 30 years, drew praise from ICE judges for overcoming technical challenges through a collaborative approach, engineering expertise, tenacity and determination.

The panel added: "The whole design, co-ordination and delivery of the project was highly impressive.

"Worcestershire Parkway is a remarkable piece of infrastructure that the West Midlands can be truly proud of."

The annual awards are presented to the best civil engineering project teams or to ground-breaking research that has taken place in the West Midlands.
