Excellence in the electromechanical domain will be celebrated on Thursday 23 November at the annual awards of the Association of Electrical & Mechanical Trades (AEMT).
The Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Coventry will play host to the presentation dinner. Awards will recognise professional endeavour, product innovation, project management, skills development, engineering prowess and service delivery.
Highlighted projects include solutions relevant to:
• The implementation of flood defences to protect the lives of 30 million people living below sea level.
• The regeneration of the drinking water supply of 3 million people across 250 cities.
• A reduction of CO2 emissions by 2,500 tonnes a year across just two projects.
• The use of hydropower to reduce CO2 emissions by 6 million tonnes.
• The irrigation of 3,000 hectares of land helping to yield more profitable farming, and reduce weekly shopping bills.
The awards ceremony concludes an all-day event, the AEMT’s Annual Conference (more details at www.aemtconference.com).
