The Australian Society for Concrete Pavements (ASCP) recently held its inaugural Awards for Technical Excellence The ceremony was held in conjunction with the March 2022 Forum and 2022 Annual General Meeting. The face-to-face event was an opportunity to celebrate and network with friends and colleagues in the concrete pavement community for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.
There were five (5) awards presented on the night. Each winner was chosen by an independent board of selectors. The Awards categories were split into the following categories:
