JGP Awards

JGP has been involved in a number of prestigious projects that have been nominated or awarded prominent accolades; these have included:

Maker and Rame Institute Clock Tower

Severe storms on the 14th & 15th February 2014 further damaged the Kingsand clock tower and Rame Institute building. Huge stormwaves again breached the sea facing Institute wall and severely eroded the internal west wall of the building leaving the clocktower and indeed the whole building in a most precarious state. The interior of the institute became fully exposed and was severely battered by the large storm waves. It was evident that the clock tower was extremely close to being lost. Measurements indicated that the top of the tower moved some 15mm.

This video commissioned jointly by Celtic Construction and John Grimes Partnership describes the necessary works to both strengthen and heighten the sea wall. The existing wall is a tenuous defence. It not only protects the Institute and Clock Tower Building but also the village of Kingsand.

AWARD – Highly Commended – The ICE South West Region Award 2015 Minor Projects

Lundy Island

Administered by the Landmark Trust, Lundy Island is a SSSI and the surrounding seas are a Marine Nature Reserve. John Grimes Partnership has worked on Lundy since 1987 engineering improvements to the island’s infrastructure including, jetty & harbour infrastructure, access road, coastal retaining walls, sea caves and restoration works.

Recent works on the road, slope stabilisation, coastal defence and a slipway have been awarded the Winner of The Institution of Civil Engineers South West Region Civil Engineering Project of the year Award 2010 Minor Projects.

AWARD – Winner – The ICE South West Region Civil Engineering Project of the year Award 2010 Minor Projects.
