Industry veterans selected the winners of the Global Best Projects Awards as the most outstanding examples of the risks and rewards—and the hurdles overcome—of designing and building internationally. The judges looked at projects in many markets and examined safety, innovations, challenges, and design and construction quality, with a special emphasis on the diversity of global project teams and their collaboration. One project built by an international team to improve water quality throughout a major metropolitan area won top honors as Project of the Year, as selected by the judges and ENR editors. All the projects will be honored at an awards dinner on Oct. 11, following the Global Construction Summit in New York City sponsored by ENR and Marcum LLP.
