The £6.8 million regeneration scheme at Colwyn Bay in north Wales won the Civil/Infrastructure Project of the Year category.
The contract was awarded by Conwy County Borough Council.
The project involved dredging and pumping 220,000 cubic metres of sand from the bed of the Irish Sea onto Colwyn Bay's beach to raise its level by three metres.

Other features included building a new promenade with stepped revetment, extensions of existing outfalls for surface water and public realm works.
Tom de la Motte, MD of Galliford Try’s Infrastructure division, said: "This award underlines the value we can add to regeneration schemes through our Environmental business unit. The project has played a significant part in the client's long-term regeneration strategy for Colwyn Bay by both strengthening coastal protection and enhancing the amenity value of the beach."
