BAM Successful at Irish Building & Design Awards
24th April 2015
BAM picked up two significant accolades at the 2015 Irish Building and Design Awards, which were announced recently at a ceremony in Dublin.
More than 300 people from the world of Construction, Design, Architecture and Engineering attended the largest annual awards ceremony in the industry to acknowledge the best in Ireland’s Building and Design projects over the last 12 months.
BAM Civil / Wayss & Freytag JV, both subsidiaries of BAM Group, received the Engineering Project of the Year award for work on the Shell Corrib Pipeline in Mayo. The joint venture combined the vast tunnelling experience of Wayss & Freytag with BAM Civil’s expertise in the Irish construction sector to deliver the 4.9km Corrib tunnel under Sruwaddacon Bay, now the longest tunnel in Ireland and the longest gas pipeline tunnel in Europe.
BAM Contractors picked up the School Building Project of the Year award for Athlone Community College, a 9,400 sqm post-primary school accommodating 1,000 pupils. The project included general teaching accommodation, specialist classrooms/workshops, physical education hall, hard play courts, playing pitches and car parking. The school was completed as part of a PPP contract with the National Development Finance Agency, which involved the design, build, finance and 25 year maintenance of eight schools by BAM.
The Awards showcased a mix of cutting-edge building projects and innovative designs and the judging panel consisted of some of the leading professionals in their fields, reviewing the largest number of applications received since the event started five years ago.
