Mind-bendingly Complex Efforts Rewarded as ENR 2018 Global Best Projects Winners
Scott Blair is Deputy Editor, Regions Editor, ENR California
A panel of industry veterans has finalized the difficult task of selecting the winners of ENR’s 6th annual Global Best Projects competition. Like ENR’s successful regional and national U.S. competitions, Global Best Projects identifies and honors the project teams behind outstanding design and construction efforts of the past year. For this competition, at least one firm involved in the project must be working outside of its home country, the project could not have any construction-related fatalities and construction had to be complete between January 1 2017 and April 30, 2018.

The judges picked a diverse set of 22 projects hailing from 14 different countries and every continent but Antarctica. These outstanding examples show the risks, rewards and hurdles overcome when designing and building internationally.
The judges looked at projects in many markets and examined safety performance, innovations, challenges, and design and construction quality - with a special emphasis on the diversity of global project teams and their collaboration. They also considered how the project benefits the local community and/or the construction industry.
The panel had discretion to designate top selections as Global Best Project winners in a variety of categories, and pick Award of Merit honorees as warranted. All 22 of the selected projects will be spotlighted in more detail in the Oct. 1 issue of ENR, along with the judges. In addition, the Oct. 1 issue will name which of the Global Best Project-level winners earned the title of 2018 Global Project of the Year!
Come celebrate these global construction achievements and mingle with the teams behind the projects at the awards gala dinner on Oct. 2 at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. Visit www.globalbestprojects.com for more info about the dinner. Hope to see you there!
