Line up of Armac excavators wins major photography award.
An image entitled Demolition of the original A5120 bridge over the M1 Motorway at Junction 12 has won the public vote for the grand prize winner in the COINS Building sights photo competition. The winning photographers, Darren Ruane and Terry Higginson of Costain Carillion Joint Venture, received nearly 40% of the total on-line votes.
Darren Ruane said, “When we took this demolition photo, we knew it had captured something special and so we started to look around for a photo competition to enter. COINS was running a construction specific competition so it was the natural choice for us.”
The two amateur photographers were able to capture a dramatic moment as ten large excavators fitted with breakers started to tear down the old A5120 road bridge over the M1 at Junction 12. The photo was shot at 11 pm and lit by task lighting and digger headlights using a Nikon D7000 SLR camera.
