artist Conrad Shawcross, encourages public
engagement and demystifies renewable energy
production. At 49m high comprising hundreds of
triangular galvanized panels, the stack unites
sophisticated engineering and complex optic
research creating an impressive sculptural concept
on a huge scale. It completes what is an ambitious
example of cutting-edge, industrial architecture by
C.F. Møller Architects, designed to save over
20,000 tonnes of carbon every year.
At Peacehaven an area approximately the size of
three football pitches features complex curved and
domed roofs forming parabolas with curved side
walls and bull nose details. Covered in sedum, the
rooftop is sensitive to its environment and blends
into the South Downs. It forms the largest green roof
in Britain. The Peacehaven Wastewater Treatment
Works is an integral element of Southern Water’s
£300m environmental improvement scheme.

From past winners to entrants competing this year,
we have had a rich catalogue to choose from. As
ever, our judging panel have had a delightful, if at
times arduous task, choosing overall winners from
another exceptional field. What has struck us all this
year more than ever, is how wonderful it is to look at
such an extensive range of projects through the lens
of galvanizing. It is truly inspiring to see the breadth
of applications of galvanized steel and to appreciate
our honest coating not in a purely supporting role,
but as a leading participant in the finest construction
of our times.
