"Each of these women has stepped up to the plate to undertake some of the world's biggest projects," said Peggy Smedley, Editorial Director of Constructech Magazine. "With their willingness to take these challenges head on, they have raised the bar significantly on what women can achieve in construction."

Submissions were made by colleagues, bosses and peers to highlight women who have integrated new technology to improve the quality of work.
