Tim said: “For the team to be recognised for their work on Whittlesey Washes is an honour and a testament to some great collaborative working not only within the internal Royal HaskoningDHV team but also between all parties involved.”
The Environment Agency project for the Washes will help to reduce the risk of flooding to more than 250 homes in the Fens. More than 300,000 tonnes of material from local quarries was moved and compacted to strengthen 17km of banks.
