The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is set to host the 2025 ICE London Awards, a prestigious event dedicated to recognising and celebrating excellence and innovation within the civil engineering sector. This ceremony aims to highlight exceptional projects, visionary individuals, and collaborative teams whose work has significantly advanced the industry. Scheduled for Thursday, 2 October 2025, the event will take place at the Institution of Civil Engineers' headquarters in London and is expected to draw industry leaders, innovators, and influencers for an evening of recognition and celebration.
The awards cover seven key categories designed to acknowledge diverse contributions to the field. These include Best Infrastructure Project – Small (under £5 million) and Large (over £5 million), both of which focus on projects delivering impactful benefits to communities and addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Best Project – Sustainability category recognises teams integrating sustainable practices across all project stages, including strategy, design, construction, and handover, emphasising environmental, social, and economic aspects. Additionally, the Best Project – Asset Resilience award shines a spotlight on initiatives that enhance infrastructure resilience to climate challenges, optimise safety and efficiency, and contribute to long-term asset sustainability.
Individual and team achievements are also celebrated through the Team of the Year Award, which honours exceptional collaboration and project management, the Rising Star of the Year, recognising individuals demonstrating integrity and professionalism in both employment and voluntary activities, and the Mentor of the Year, which acknowledges mentors who have significantly impacted professional growth and wider community contributions.
This annual ceremony is part of ICE London's wider commitment to promoting the exemplary work of its members, supporting their professional development, and advancing the industry as a whole. Tickets for the 2025 awards ceremony are limited and prospective attendees are encouraged to book early to secure their place. Sponsorship opportunities are available for organisations wishing to support the event.
The ICE London Awards sit alongside a series of regional events organised by ICE across the UK, each celebrating local civil engineering excellence. These include the ICE East of England Merit Awards in September 2025, the ICE Yorkshire and Humber Gala Dinner and Annual Awards in March 2025, the ICE South West Civil Engineering Awards in October 2025, and the ICE West Midlands Awards in May 2025. These regional awards similarly spotlight innovative projects, collaborative teams, and individual professionals driving progress in their communities.
Together, these events highlight the breadth and depth of achievement within the UK civil engineering sector, demonstrating the industry's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and resilience. They provide vital platforms for recognising not only technical excellence but also the professional values and mentorship essential to nurturing the next generation of engineering talent.
