Constructional Steelwork – Civil Works
Did your collaborative team skilfully employ Irish steel to forge critical infrastructure connections, power essential public services, or deliver landmark projects such as roads, iconic bridges, complex tunnels, vital port facilities, or advanced water/waste treatment plants?
We seek to honour outstanding civil engineering marvels born from strong partnerships and technical excellence. This award recognises projects where structural steel plays a fundamental role in creating durable, impactful public infrastructure, showcasing exceptional skill in design by consulting engineers, precision fabrication by steelwork contractors, and expert execution by main contractors and specialist erection teams in often challenging environments.
Who should nominate?
Lead steel fabricators, principal civil engineering contractors, specialist sub-contractors for steel erection, design and engineering consultancies who have demonstrably excelled in the successful delivery of significant steel-based civil infrastructure projects through a collaborative approach.
Eligibility & Key considerations
Your work on the nominated civil works project must have been completed or a significant phase substantially progressed (e.g., main steel structure installed) between 1st July 2023 and 30th June 2025.
The structural steelwork must have been predominantly produced by a registered steel fabrication business based on the island of Ireland (though the final erected location can be outside of Ireland).
Entries should meticulously focus on the complexity of the engineering challenges overcome, the exceptional quality and durability of the fabricated and erected steelwork, the innovative or collaborative solutions implemented by the entire project team (from designers to site crews), strict adherence to rigorous safety and environmental standards, and the project’s lasting positive benefit to the public or the wider community.
What the Judges are looking for
Quality of end results and long-term durability; Innovation and Technical Execution in design, fabrication, and erection (especially in challenging conditions); Project Complexity, scale, and logistical management; Collaboration with clients, public bodies, and the entire project delivery team (design engineers, specialist contractors, geotechnical consultants etc.); Uniqueness of the solution and its positive contribution to public infrastructure or services.
