Qualifying criteria for an ICE North West Heritage Award
The aim of the Award is to celebrate civil engineering in North West England and to raise public

All of the following three criteria must be met to qualify for consideration:

The work of civil engineering is at least 70 years old
It must still be extant (though not necessarily operational or in working order)
It is of cultural and/or historical significance and/or is or was a remarkable work of civil
engineering in its own right
Historical or cultural significance might depend on any one or more of the following factors (or other

other ICE North West Awards, and/or because it holds some particular status (it’s one of the tallest,
widest, heaviest, oldest examples of its kind, or made early use of a particular technique, etc).
