Team Van Oord scoops EA award 

Team Van Oord, a partnership between Van Oord, May Gurney and Mackley Construction, has won the first Project Exemplar Award to be presented by the Environment Agency (EA).

The award is for the health and safety record at the Flexbury Flood Defence Scheme in north Cornwall, which commenced in December 2007.

A fortnightly health, safety and environment inspection was required throughout the project, some off which were undertaken by the EA to provide an overall audit score.

The Flexbury project team consistently exceeded the accepted average score of 60%, and in April 2008 achieved an exceptional 94%. Due to the complicated nature of the site and this score, the project was put forward for an Exemplar Award.

Richard Nunn, national commercial and planning manager for EA ncpms, (National Capital Project Management Services) visited site on 10 June and confirmed that Team Van Oord was to receive the First HSE Exemplar Award.
 
The award was formally presented to Tony Camilleri, Team Van Oord framework director, on 24 July in Peterborough. Tony then took the time to travel to Flexbury and re-present the award to the site team. He told the team of his pride in their commitment to HSE, and their achievement in winning the first and only Exemplar Award to be presented to date.
