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

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