We are delighted to announce that the project team behind the Seawater Life Support, an innovative underwater intake line that provides a vital channel for seawater to the Marine Biological Association (MBA) have been honoured with the IET Engineers in Society Teamwork Award.
This prestigious award highlights the exceptional collaboration and innovation demonstrated by the team in developing the intake line, which has mutual benefits for ocean life and marine research.
After two years of careful consideration and planning, a team of expert engineers and technicians developed the new 27-metre Seawater Life Support and came up with a unique deployment strategy.
Using advanced eco-friendly materials and innovative design methodologies, the new intake line will meet the increasing needs of the MBA’s Research Aquarium, while promoting biodiversity and sustainability.
The project overseen by Structural Evolution was realised through strong teamwork and collaboration between marine scientists, engineers, and local partner companies, including ARC Marine, ScaffFloat, Seawide Services, WH Scott & Son Engineers, and MDL Marinas.
The award was presented to the project team at the IET Excellence and Innovation Awards 2024 held at The Library of Birmingham.
