Overall Project of the Year Award
The winner for this category has now been announced. Congratulations to all our finalists in this category.
This award, the pinnacle of the ceremony, is chosen at the discretion of our Awards Steering Group from the four winners of the Project of the Year categories (Engineering, Construction & Infrastructure; Digital and Technology; Transformation; and Social).
At the heart of every great project, is a great story; a successful project is about delivering results for the customer, the stakeholders, and the wider community. It’s about turning a vision into reality and making progressive change happen. Through the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques, a project’s objectives can be met. The Overall Project of the Year Award is the headline award, given to the project that has shown the highest level of excellence in project delivery and has maximised benefits to end users and communities.
There are four Project of the Year categories, representing different types of projects. The winner of each of these categories is eligible to win the prestigious Overall Project of the Year category, announced at the end of the ceremony. As a result, we do not accept direct entries for this category.
GTA Phase 1 is an LNG development offshore Mauritania and Senegal. The concept was unique, designed to take advantage of proven liquefaction technology and locating it in the Atlantic Ocean. Facilities were fabricated all over the world before being integrated offshore M&S. It fulfils a key driver of parity for both countries across the border, while also representing their first hydrocarbon investments of this scale.
The project faced challenges like COVID19 and a typhoon, but overcame them through strong leadership and collaboration. It has positively impacted local infrastructure, provided training for national technicians, and initiated environmental and social programmes.
