For more than a dozen years, Enr has conducted the global competition of better projects inviting project teams around the world to present tickets in various sectors. Industry veterans review these projects to identify the teams behind the outstanding design and construction efforts last year.
This year, the judges examined and analyzed security performance, innovations, teamwork and the excellence of about 90 communications.
This year’s winners include 32 projects located in 24 countries on all continents, except Antarctica. These outstanding examples show that risks, rewards and obstacles are exceeding internationally designing and building. All the selected projects will be highlighted in more detail at the December 15 number. In addition, this special issue will name which of the winners will obtain the coveted title of the global project of the year.
None of the tickets could participate if they had fatalities related to construction and construction, it had to be completed between January 2024 and May 2025.
The group of judges had discretion to designate the higher teams as winners of better global projects in various categories and could choose the prize of the winners of merit as guaranteed. Get more information about the judges at the December 15 issue of Enr.
This year, everyone around the world has the opportunity to celebrate these global construction hits and get to know the teams behind the projects at the ENR virtual awards event. Best of all, there is no fee to attend. For more information on the presentation of Global BEST Awards projects of December 18, visit www.enr.com/global-best-projectes.
