INTRODUCTION<br />
The <strong>Society</strong> is delighted to publish this illustrated catalogue of entries to this year’s celebration of excellence<br />
in design and construction in concrete, the 31st <strong>Irish</strong> <strong>Concrete</strong> <strong>Society</strong> Awards Competition.<br />
The awards now span four categories: Building, Infrastructural, Elemental and our new International Award,<br />
for which we are very grateful for the support of Enterprise Ireland. In addition to our recognised criteria,<br />
special recognition for the use of concrete in a sustainable context can also be considered in judging the<br />
entries. The <strong>Society</strong> each year promotes excellence in concrete research at third level institutions through<br />
the Sean de Courcy Student Award. The award is presented to the student (or student group) adjudged to<br />
have submitted the most impressive final year projects based on concrete.<br />
In March 2013 we witnessed one of the largest drops in Construction Industry Confidence, now reporting<br />
its 71st month upon month of decline. The <strong>Concrete</strong> Industry is a wholly indigenous one, and investment<br />
in it provides immediate payback in terms of local jobs in quarries, cement works, precast-producers and<br />
readymix plants, consultancy and engineering practices, and on building sites. And yet for a country that<br />
is supposed to have an emphasis on job creation, the <strong>Concrete</strong> Industry and wider Construction Industry<br />
is being starved of public investment. Not only has the industry “fallen off the cliff” but those who are<br />
best placed to come to its aid are ignoring it despite its critical condition. It is a symptom of this decline<br />
in our industry that so many of the talented designers, manufacturers and producers focus on the export<br />
market rather than the domestic. The simple fact is that it is more viable to deliver product, services, innovation<br />
and technical ability to an export market that is stable, than to our dysfunctional indigenous<br />
marketplace.<br />
We in the <strong>Concrete</strong> <strong>Society</strong> can testify to the wealth of skills, technical ability, ingenuity and creativity that<br />
have developed with the <strong>Concrete</strong> Industry and the longterm benefits that appropriate investment has<br />
brought to the people and the country. Year upon year we have seen the culmination of such investment,<br />
both private and public, brought before us in the Annual Awards evening. There is no doubt that in the<br />
31 years of our Awards the bar has been raised and that the quality of most recent investments are world<br />
class. And it is on the back of the delivery of such quality that our members can compete abroad.<br />
Therefore it is right to congratulate and recognise the achievements of those who have taken the steps to<br />
compete abroad, and maintain skilled jobs and talents within their companies and within the country. They<br />
are beacons of hope to those who understand the need to maintain vitality within the concrete industry.<br />
Our International Award, sponsored by Enterprise Ireland, recognises the innovation and determination of<br />
those who compete abroad and The <strong>Society</strong> intends to develop this award over the next few years.<br />
However, this evening is one of celebration and acknowledgment of the achievements of our members<br />
and those associated with <strong>Concrete</strong> over the past year. We thank all those who entered our various competitions<br />
and wish them well with the results.<br />
On behalf of the Council of the <strong>Society</strong>, I wish to thank those who agreed to adjudicate awards in the<br />
various categories. We congratulate the entrants in the competition and acknowledge the inspiration that<br />
their work brings to fellow practitioners in the art and science of concrete technology.<br />
We also salute those in whose leadership within the concrete industry in Ireland, and whose bravery in<br />
taking their skills and innovation abroad, have managed to sustain their companies and this industry at<br />
the current levels. We wish you all well for 2013 and hope you relax for this one evening at least, and enjoy<br />
the celebration.<br />

AWARDS JUDGING CRITERIA<br />
Main Awards<br />
The <strong>Irish</strong> <strong>Concrete</strong> <strong>Society</strong> will again make an award for excellence in design or construction<br />
of a completed building, structure or concrete element, irrespective of type, scale or<br />
complexity, in concrete.<br />
The Award Scheme is organised to enable the <strong>Society</strong> to acknowledge construction achievements<br />
in which concrete, in any <strong>form</strong> contributes significantly to the built environment. Entries<br />
relating to the contribution made by concrete to any aspect of building, civil engineering,<br />
architecture, art or landscaping will be accepted by the <strong>Society</strong>.<br />
Entries are subdivided into three categories:<br />
• Building<br />
• Infrastructure<br />
• Element (Housing or small projects e.g. walls, stairs, paving)<br />
There will be one overall winner chosen, with category winners in the other sections,<br />
depending on the level and quality of entries.<br />
International Award<br />
The jury will judge entries on the basis of the following criteria:<br />
• Technical excellence in the use of concrete displayed by the <strong>Irish</strong> entrant company<br />
• The entry should represent a significant achievement for the <strong>Irish</strong> entrant company<br />
illustrating ambition in both business and technical aspects.<br />
