A Dublin Airport construction project has become the first ever Irish site to win a prestigious Gold Award.
Irish construction company Roadbridge completed the work on the North Runway Construction Package 1.
The Gold Award was presented at the Considerate Constructors Scheme's 2018 National Site Awards in Plaisterer's Hall, London, on 24 April.
The awards recognise Scheme-registered sites that have demonstrated the very highest levels of consideration in respect of the community, environment and workforce.
Considerate Constructors Scheme Chief Executive, Edward Hardy said: "To receive a gold award is a fantastic achievement for Roadbridge and Dublin Airport Authority. They have clearly embraced the highest standards expected by the Scheme, demonstrating exceptional performance in considerate construction and a commitment to improving the image and reputation of our industry."
"Since introducing registration to Ireland in 2017, we have been inundated with requests from contractors, companies, suppliers, clients and professional partners, all keen to register with the Scheme. We are thrilled with this commitment by the Irish construction industry and look forward to welcoming more registrations - and crowning even more exceptional Irish projects at future Scheme awards."
Conor Gilligan, Roadbridge's Managing Director said: "Roadbridge are absolutely delighted to have won the first Gold Award on an Irish registered project for the North Runway Construction Package 1, at Dublin Airport. This award is a testament to the dedicated project and support team at Roadbridge and also to the excellent collaborative working relationship throughout the works between ourselves and the daa team. We look forward to continuing registering further Irish projects with the Considerate Constructors Scheme, as it is an excellent means of driving improvements across the company. The Scheme fits in very well with our core ethos of being a good neighbour."
