Industrial Engineering – Construction Projects
Production lines, optimising material flow, automation, material handling, efficiency gains.
Who Should Nominate
Teams behind production lines, automation deployments, optimised material flow and industrial engineering builds — projects that lifted efficiency or capacity on site.
Eligibility
Open to all Irish Steel members. You can nominate your own company or another member, and you can enter more than one category — just submit each entry separately.
Entries should be based on work that was completed or significantly progressed between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2026. A handful of categories don't specify a time window — when in doubt, get in touch.
What Judges Look For
Each entry is reviewed by our judging panel. For finished projects, judges weigh:
- Quality of the end result
- Innovation and technical execution
- Project complexity and scale
- Collaboration with suppliers and clients
- Uniqueness
Submission Requirements
Every submission needs:
- A short project summary (50 words)
- The story of the project (800–1,000 words) — what you built, how you solved problems, the materials and techniques, the operational excellence, innovation and technology involved
- A strong case for why it deserves to win (up to 500 words)
- At least two high-quality images (up to five allowed)
- Your company logo in PNG format
