Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) and JN Bentley have taken home trophies for best Water Project, Health, Safety and Wellbeing Impact, and Environmental and Sustainability Project of the Year at the British Construction and Infrastructure Awards 2026. Held at London’s Grosvenor Hotel, the British Construction and Infrastructure Awards (BCIAs) are the longest-running and most prestigious awards in the construction industry, recognising outstanding projects, companies and teams across the UK. With over 200 entries spanning 24 categories, and two weeks’ worth of interviews in front of an expert judging panel, this year’s competition remained exceptionally high. Alongside representatives from Yorkshire Water, the MMB team behind the Dearne Reach Integrated Constructed Wetland project took to the stage twice during the night, to accept the coveted Water Project Award and the trophy for Environmental and Sustainability Impact. The project also received a high commendation in the Environmental Project category. Explaining why Dearne Reach stood out, the judges recognised the scheme as an “exceptional example of engineering innovation, environmental stewardship and whole-life thinking.” The expert panel added that they were impressed by the team’s “willingness to challenge conventional thinking”, noting that the project will be a blueprint for the future of water engineering and resilient wastewater infrastructure. As the UK's largest integrated constructed wetland covering 4.3 hectares, Dearne Reach pioneered a nature-based solution that naturally manages storm overflows and filters river pollutants. By replacing a conventional grey solution (which would have required a 7,000m³ concrete storage tank and 4.5km of steel pipeline) with a fully sustainable solution, the team delivered the same objectives with dramatically lower environmental impact, including a 60% reduction in embodied carbon, improved water quality, significant biodiversity gains and wider community benefits. The completed integrated constructed wetland project at Dearne Reach, Huddersfield. Neil Shepherd, contracts manager at MMB, added: “As a team we are very proud of what we have achieved at Dearne Reach. The positive impact we have delivered - for the people and for the environment - will last for many years to come. It’s rewarding to be part of such a legacy project that will change how the industry manages wastewater treatment for the better.” The MMB and Yorkshire Water team collect their award on stage. Later in the evening, MMB secured a further win - this time for Health, Safety and Wellbeing Impact, awarded for the company’s controlling of high energy hazards programme. Delivered to all 3,000 colleagues, alongside client and supply chain partners, it focuses on identifying and controlling the most significant risks present on construction sites, by introducing the requirement to implement either a direct, or a minimum of two secondary controls to manage the hazards. The judges appreciated the simplicity and effectiveness of the concept, emphasising that it is both “transferable and scalable - which will have impact across the wider industry and raise awareness of high energy hazards, benefitting a wide range of sectors.” MMB director, Ian Bester, commented, “Being recognised in these categories is a fantastic achievement for us at MMB and JN Bentley and one that we are sincerely proud of. Ultimately, this success reflects us at our very best - delivering brilliant projects, safely and sustainably. Huge congratulations to the teams involved.” Above: members of the JN Bentley SHEQ (safety, health, environment, quality) team accepts the 'Health, Safety and Wellbeing Impact Award', for the company's Control of High Energy Hazards programme - Congratulations to all of the MMB, JNB and Mott MacDonald teams nominated as follows: Health, Safety and Wellbeing Impact: Control of High Energy Hazards (JNB) Sustainability and Environmental Impact: Dearne Reach Integrated Constructed Wetland (MMB) Water Project: Dearne Reach Integrated Constructed Wetland (MMB) Environmental Project: Dearne Reach Integrated Constructed Wetland (MMB) Water Project: Bolton Wastewater Treatment Works: AMP7 Quality (MMB) Project Team Excellence: Bolton Wastewater Treatment Works: AMP7 Quality (MMB) Upgrade and Renewal Project: Bolton Wastewater Treatment Works: AMP7 Quality (MMB) Environmental Project of the Year: HS2 Area North Watercourse Realignments (Mott MacDonald SYSTRA Design Joint Venture) Transport Project: Revitalising West Midlands Rail Infrastructure (Mott MacDonald) Water Project: Lincolnshire Reservoir Ground Investigation Works (Mott MacDonald) Net Zero Carbon Impact: Mayor of London’s Zero Carbon Accelerator – Scaling up London’s ability to decarbonise (Mott MacDonald) Construction Excellence: HS2 Integrated Project Team North (Mott MacDonald SYSTRA Design Joint Venture) Project Team Excellence: Clifton Rail Bridge Replacement (Mott MacDonald) Project Team Excellence: HS2 M6 South Motorway viaduct integrated project team (Mott MacDonald SYSTRA Design Joint Venture)

Meet one of our brilliant people: Charlotte Hobson, communications and media lead for JN Bentley. Based in Yorkshire, Charlotte delivers engaging internal and external communications for JN Bentley and Mott MacDonald Bentley. Charlotte speaks about her role in the communications team, how she delivers excellence for our colleagues and clients, and reflects on her time as Mott MacDonald’s Global Early Career Professionals Communications Lead. She also shares some advice for those preparing to take the next step in their career. What is your role in JN Bentley? I’m part of our in-house communications team working as a communications and media lead. In my role I’m responsible for delivering our corporate communications strategy. This involves the production of engaging written, visual and video content, to reach a range of internal and external stakeholders. Tell us how you deliver excellence in your role I deliver excellence by making sure communications are clear, engaging and purposeful. Ensuring excellence is all about taking the time to understand the message, audience and desired impact, then working collaboratively with colleagues to shape content that tells the story well. Whether it’s an internal update or external campaign, the communications we produce are created with consistency, quality and the audience in mind. Charlotte at London ECP training How does your role support wider operations in JN Bentley? As part of the communications team, we support wider operations by making sure people across the business are informed, engaged and connected to the work happening around them. Good communication supports everything from safety and recruitment to project delivery and business development. Whether we’re communicating an important learning from a safety incident, sharing best practice or celebrating a project milestone. We identify the best channel and format to make sure messages are delivered with maximum impact to ultimately keep people safe, look after the money and make sure our people are happy. What advice would you give to someone looking to shape their own story at JN Bentley? Be curious, ask questions and listen. Understanding more about the business outside of your role or remit can be really valuable in your career. Say yes to opportunities, even if it feels like a challenge or something outside your comfort zone - you never know what they might lead to or what you’ll learn. How do you strive to create an inclusive, collaborative and supportive environment with your colleagues? For me, inclusion is all about bringing the right people together at the right time, listening to their opinions and respecting their areas of expertise. In doing that, I think it helps people to feel respected and valued at work and encourages a collaborative approach to day-to-day and project work. As someone who has played a key role in the Early Career Professionals (ECP) network, what does being an ECP mean to you? When I think of ‘ECP’ a few words come to mind: creativity, curiosity and collaboration. Being in the early stages of your career is a really exciting time – it’s all about learning, building relationships and developing your skills. The ECP network is a place to help you achieve all those things. It enables you to meet new people, not just those in your immediate or unit/framework teams, learn about other parts of the business – whether it’s projects, the support teams or technical disciplines – and provides the opportunity to collaborate on initiatives and events that help you to develop the skills that support a successful career. ECP day 2025 in Birmingham How did you get involved with the Global ECP Committee? I first got involved in the ECP network in 2020 when I took on the role of communications lead for the MMBC region. Back then our regional network was only just getting established, so it was great to be involved almost from the start. A couple of years later the then Global ECP communications lead reached out as she was stepping down from the role and suggested I apply, so I did! And I was lucky enough to get it. What is your favourite memory during your time on the Global ECP Committee? There’s a lot! Everything I’ve had the opportunity to get involved with through the ECP Network has been memorable. From running the first ever regional ECP Day in Birmingham alongside Ana Garland and the then-regional framework and initiative leads to seeing the days grow in numbers and engagement year-on-year, to taking a trip to London to collaborate with members of the global committee and deliver training on comms practices to the first group of regional engagement leads have been definite highlights. I’ve met some brilliant people and made some wonderful friends – I’m really grateful for the opportunities the ECP Network has given me. Charlotte at ECP Day 2025 What advice would you give to someone moving into the next stage of their career? Stay curious. I’ve always loved studying and learning new things, but I think when you reach a mid-point in your career it’s easy to just focus on the day job and sometimes that can make people feel a bit stuck. But there’s so many ways to keep progressing and developing – industry events, webinars, being part of an industry body and maintaining those connections with people you met in the early stages of your career are all ways I’ve found to stay curious and keep learning and progressing. What has been your proudest achievement? Completing my masters in corporate communications is probably my proudest achievement. I was lucky that the business supported me throughout the course and I studied whilst still working full time – my evenings and weekends for two years mostly consisted of research and writing assignments. I finished my dissertation in the middle of the pandemic in 2020 too, so that was an interesting challenge, especially when my role in communications was very demanding at that time. …that and going to Glastonbury for the first time when I’d never done a festival before or properly camped. My friends thought I’d hate it. But it was honestly one of the best experiences of my life!

JN Bentley's "Digital Design" page highlights their innovative, low-carbon engineering designs using cutting-edge digital tools and the Moata platform Back Next About us Introducing JN Bentley Vision and values Publications These are the key policy statements of JN Bentley, Mott MacDonald Bentley and JBA Bentley, setting out the commitments and responsibilities of our business. Our policies ABOUT Repeat business is the recognition that we’re looking for - but it’s nice to pick up an award or two along the way. Awards ABOUT JN Bentley Ltd is part of the global management, engineering and development consultancy Mott MacDonald, offering our clients full feasibility, design and construction services throughout the UK. Who we are ABOUT We integrate inclusion and belonging, professional and personal development, and health and wellbeing into our business culture. People OUR APPROACH Our aim is to reduce water consumption, minimise our waste, and use energy efficiently. Preserving resources OUR APPROACH We act in the best interests of our communities and society as a whole. Supporting society OUR APPROACH Digital design We use cutting edge digital tools and processes to produce engineering designs that are innovative, low carbon, and safe to build, operate, maintain and demolish. Through global enterprise agreements with industry leading technology companies, we provide our staff with the latest tools available to operate at their full potential. We use our own industry-leading digital solutions platform, Moata , to help solve our clients’ pressing problems using the power of data. An example is Moata Carbon Portal , which is used across all of our projects, standardising the way we calculate and reduce embodied carbon in the assets we design and construct for our clients. Case study: BIM 360/Autodesk Construction cloud BIM 360 is a common data environment (CDE) that we use to manage our graphical data. It supports informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle for project design and construction teams. It enables multiple people to access data from a single source of information where colleagues, suppliers, and our clients can collaborate at the same time, as one team. It allows team members to interact with our 3D model design, collaborate with other team members and raise issues connected with specific parts of the model. It also ensures that our designs are following our standard information management procedures. Case study: Moata solutions – Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) We’re continuing to use our Moata Geospatial and Moata Land Management solutions in the Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) to deliver significant savings on this important piece of national infrastructure. Moata Land Management was used to provide all parties involved in project design and delivery and members of the Alliance access to the same data through a single database. This enabled a coordinated and consistent approach to identifying landowners, managing land access and survey requests with stakeholders. The solutions alone have saved an estimated £2 million over 18 months. Moata has allowed the SPA team to efficiently analyse data and derive insights, improving outcomes. Case study: Moata solutions – Living with Water Used together, Moata Geospatial and Moata Inspect aid collaboration on project data with easy data capture, review and monitoring. Living With Water is a partnership between Yorkshire Water, Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Environment Agency and the University of Hull, working together to build flood resilience, develop innovative water management systems, and highlight the region as a great place to live, work and visit. We used Moata Geospatial and Moata Inspect to help collect digital survey data and present it on a GIS map platform with other geospatial data in a fully digital workflow. This provided a comprehensive view of the data collection and allowed the team to make informed, right first time decisions. Case study: Moata solutions - Intelligent content Moata Intelligent Content (MIC) is our digital component catalogue with easy-to-use access to a vast, fully managed library of standardised design, procurement, construction and commissioning documentation. MIC allows teams to repeat the delivery of projects to achieve our vision of increased efficiency. Intelligent Content is a vital way of using the digital knowledge capital we generate as our primary output, enabling us to deliver better services to our clients.
