GB Card & Partners is proud to announce its nomination for the CN Specialists Awards in the fiercely contested Technology Innovation category. The nomination recognises GBCP’s innovative Card Deck™ hybrid raft technology, which was developed to enable construction at a challenging regeneration initiative in Kent.

The project is transforming a former quarry site into a vibrant new community that includes some 800 homes, a primary school, and an ecology park.

GBCP’s Card Deck™ technology has been hailed as a game-changing advancement in the engineering sector, offering viable solutions for projects previously deemed unfeasible due to high developmental costs and challenging geological conditions.

Dr. Geoffrey B. Card, Chief Executive of GB Card & Partners, expressed his pride in the nomination: “I am proud that our small and dynamic company has been recognised by the CN Specialists Awards judges who have shortlisted us for this award, particularly given the calibre and quality of our fellow finalists. The nomination is a tribute to the inspired thinking and admirable professionalism which led to the creation of our Card Deck™ technology.”

The Card Deck™ technology represents a significant advancement in geotechnical engineering, enabling the development of sites where traditional structural solutions and mitigation strategies would have been impractical. By overcoming scientific and technological uncertainties, GBCP has created a design concept with immense potential for future UK and global projects.

Established in 2010, GBCP boasts a distinguished national and international reputation for its expertise in solving complex civil and environmental engineering challenges. Comprising chartered professionals with backgrounds in engineering, geology, and the sciences, the consultancy has continually delivered innovative solutions across construction and development sectors.

The winners of the CN Specialists Awards will be announced on 02 September at the Lancaster Hotel in London.
