The team of engineers (including Sisk Rail team) who worked to reopen the rail link following the severe weather at the start of 2014, have been awarded the prestigious Brunel Medal at the 2014 Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Awards.
 
The Brunel Medal, named after civil engineering legend Isambard Kingdom Brunel, recognises individuals or teams who have shown excellence in civil engineering. Fittingly, this year it goes to a team who repaired part of a railway Brunel himself designed.
 
The ICE Awards Committee said the work demonstrated a “shining example of civil engineers doing what they do best - teamwork, inventiveness, innovation, quick thinking and sheer determination.”
