About the heritage awards
Our Engineering Heritage Awards celebrate the contribution of mechanical engineering, to our past and present. Recognising irreplaceable artefacts from hovercraft to sewage works, railway lines to bombers, the awards raise public awareness of the vital role mechanical engineering plays in modern life.
Come join the celebrations as Carolyn Griffiths, president of the IMechE, presents the 108th Heritage award to the X Alpha Rigid Inflatable Boat at the Atlantic College. The X Alpha was designed by a former member of the Institution, Rear admiral Desmond Hoare.
