Global engineering, management and development consultancy, Mott MacDonald which is engaged by Walker Corporation to provide civil and structural engineering services for the Festival Plaza redevelopment, have been awarded Engineers Australia's South Australian Project of the Year.

Mott MacDonald's civil and structural engineering services have supported the delivery of a solution that demonstrates how innovative engineering can seamlessly blend to create an inventive, dynamic, and functional design in a prominent public setting.

The $1 billion Festival Plaza redevelopment, delivery by Renewal SA, Department of Infrastructure and Transport and Walker Corporation is a key component to the success of the broader Adelaide Riverbank, as it will not only generate economic growth, but it will also become a destination of choice for local, interstate and overseas visitors. A vibrant destination with people-focused spaces to explore, congregate, relax, shop, dine and play.

The Engineers Australia Excellence Awards seeks to recognise and reward outstanding achievement in engineering. Local winners will go on to represent their division at the national awards in Melbourne later this year.
