Celebrating Excellence in Structural Engineering – IStructE Structural Awards 2026
MasterSeries was proud to sponsor the IStructE Structural Awards 2026 again, joining the structural engineering community in London to celebrate outstanding projects, innovation, and technical achievements shaping our built environment.
The annual awards recognise the creativity, expertise and dedication of structural engineers around the world, showcasing projects that push the boundaries of what is possible in structural engineering.
Congratulations to this year's winners
A huge congratulations to all the winners of the 2026 Structural Awards. The projects recognised this year demonstrate the remarkable contribution structural engineering makes to our built environment, combining technical excellence, innovation and creative problem-solving.
We were particularly delighted to sponsor the Pushing Boundaries Award, recognising projects that advance structural engineering through technical ingenuity.
This year's award went to:
Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory – Central Detector
Beijing Institute of Architectural Design (BIAD)
Pushing the boundaries of structural engineering
The winning project, the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory – Central Detector, is an outstanding example of structural engineering innovation. Located 700 metres underground in Guangdong, China, the project features a highly complex spherical detector structure designed to support groundbreaking scientific research.
The project was also awarded the prestigious Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence, recognising its exceptional engineering achievements.
Congratulations to Beijing Institute of Architectural Design (BIAD) and everyone involved in delivering this remarkable project.
