Awards and accreditations

Einbugth Gateway Station won the building category in the 2017 Saltire Awards sponsored by the ICE Scotland.  The £36m interchange station is part of Network Rail's EGIP programme to improve capacity on the busy commuter line between Edinburgh and Glasgow.  Working with contractor Balfour Beatty and consultants IDP and WSP, Hewson undertook design of key elements of the project including an underpass under the A8 and an anchored retaining wall..

Innovative temporary works that helped deliver Network Rail's Ordsall Chord project in Manchester were recognised at the 2017 British Construction Industry Awards.  Hewson worked closely with Skanska's temporary works team to assess and modify the existing bridge that was used to install the temporary towers which in turn facilitated both demolition of the existing bridge and erection of the new network arch..
