18 www.thefis.org Plastering – fibrous and GRG Silver Award: Fine Art Mouldings for The Cigar Bar, Wilton Place, London The judges said: “All the works on this project have been executed to the highest possible quality, demonstrating the significant level of skill and ingenuity Fine Art Mouldings exercised in delivering such an interesting and unique project.” Steel Framed Systems Silver Award: Veitchi Interiors for Cannonmills, Edinburgh The judges said: “Without doubt, Veitchi - Cannonmills 3 logistics was going to be a major challenge, with the external scaffold cantilevered over the river. But virtually all components were manufactured and assembled off-site and then delivered in sequence for installation. As a consequence, the structure was completed to a very high standard ahead of programme.” Suspended ceilings Silver Award: Roskel Contracts for Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh The judges said: “Many of the metal sections had to be hand curved on site to accommodate the vagaries of the building design. And in some cases, the void depth was limited, making the fitting of sections a further challenge. However, all these complications and challenges were overcome, creating a striking overall ceiling finish that not only looks impressive but performs acoustically to a very high level.” Plastering – fibrous and GRG Gold Award: Ryedale Interiors for Barton Square, The Trafford Centre, Manchester The judges said: “To take on a project of this magnitude and complexity required a huge degree of ingenuity, meticulous planning, high-quality workmanship, proactivity, value engineering and collaboration with all parties involved. The finished result is simply stunning and highlights the extraordinary work on all fronts that Ryedale executed throughout the contract.” Suspended ceilings Gold Award: Integra Contracts for 70 St Mary Axe, London The judges said: “To meet the challenges of a ceiling assembly of this nature, Integra came up with a unique suspension system. The finished result is exceptional – in the double-height space of this spectacular reception area, the ceilings reflect the external cladding lines to create a unique, dramatic space. Top quality work from Integra.” Steel Framed Systems Gold Award: AT Jones for Poole Gateway, Bournemouth University, Dorset The judges said: “A high proportion of the work was only accessible externally using mobile elevating work platforms and cherry- pickers, often at above 20m. AT Jones exercised an enormous amount of skill, ingenuity and determination to deliver a truly stunning final result.” FIS Contractors Awards
