A night of celebrations for our Holmes people and projects at the SESOC Awards!
Last week our team attended the Structural Engineering Society (SESOC) Conference in New Zealand—we’re thrilled to celebrate the achievements of our people and project partners.
First, Hamish McKenzie was awarded SESSOC Life Membership—well-deserved recognition for many years of service and representing Holmes on committees and other SESOC groups, including a term as President in recent years.
We also had an amazing night at the awards ceremony, where Holmes got more Ithan our share of the silverware. We entered three projects, and all of them got a medal! The three award-winning projects are listed below:
- Observatory Hotel at the Arts Centre (won a commendation)
- Te Pae Building (received best in category)
- Christ Church Cathedral Stabilisation (received best in category)
These achievements were incredible recognition for some truly world class seismic engineering.
Congratulations to all the project teams involved and all the winners on the night.
