CMA INTRODUCES NEW TROPHY AWARD:
Article Date: 21 April 2010
The CMA (Concrete Manufacturers Association) has announced a new trophy award for its Awards for Excellence competition.
The award has been created for the Concrete Retaining Block category, which in the past, shared a trophy with the Infrastructural and Innovative Concrete Products categories.
CMA director, Hamish Laing, says the number of CRB entrants has increased tremendously over the past 10 years and therefore this division warrants a trophy of its own.
“This means that this year’s competition will now run with five rather than four trophy awards, the other categories being Masonry, Paving, Roofing and the Infrastructural and Innovative Products Categories,” says Laing.
The CRB trophy is being sponsored by Terraforce, one of the country’s major designers of CRBs.
The judging of this year’s competition will take place in July at the CMA’s Midrand premises and the appointment of the judges will be announced soon. They will comprise construction professionals such as architects, structural engineers and quantity surveyors, and will evaluate the entries over two days.
The competition, for which entries close on May 31st , is not restricted to CMA members and entry forms can be downloaded from the CMA’s website www.cma.org.za. The rules and conditions are printed on the entry forms. As entries are based on photographs, high quality images are an essential element of the competition.
