Congratulations to IPUT plc and Henry J Lyons on their success at the Building and Architect of the Year Awards 2018. Their project at No.10 Molesworth Street won the ‘Building of the Year – Large Office’ Award at the gala ceremony held in the Mansion House last night.

P.J. Hegarty & Sons U.C. were the main contractor on this prestigious office development which was completed earlier this year.

Recently there was a significant milestone on the Haulbowline Island East Tip Remediation project as the last section of liner material was laid, capping the island off and making it safe.

The project is the design & build of the remediation & capping of the former Haulbowline East Tip site including metal recovery, perimeter engineered structure, slag processing, site re-profiling, capping and landscaping. The new public green space will include playing pitches, walking/jogging circuit, picnic areas, viewing points and a car park.

Please see above a photograph of the site team at Haulbowline just prior to the event. We would like to congratulate them on reaching this significant milestone on the project.

The recently completed new office development at 10 Molesworth Street has achieved LEED Platinum Certification.

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. LEED provides a framework to create healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings. The Platinum certification is the highest classification that can be achieved.

PJ Hegarty & Sons U.C. were the main contractor on this project.

Congratulations to Wilson Architecture and the PJ Hegarty & Sons project team who were involved in the Penrose Quay office project in Cork City.

At yesterday’s digital ceremony, the Penrose Quay project achieved the Building of the Year in the Large Office Category and the Overall Building of the Year Award 2021. This is a significant achievement for everyone involved  to get this recognition given the level of competition.

The approximate area of the new Taxiway is 17,000m2 & the construction will require:

 22,000t of Dry Lean Mix Concrete (DLC) pavement road base,

 8000t of  high specification Marshall Asphalt surfacing,

New AGL (Above Ground Lighting) to include F900 spec. pits, ducting & Luminaires,

New pavement drainage system,

Stop Bar installation to Taxiway Juliet & Aviation signage.

In addition to agreed daytime working periods, runway possessions will be granted 5 nights per week & all works will be delivered whilst maintaining Gatwick’s demanding flight schedule. The works will demand incredibly high standards of safety & security, required for working in this “ultra live” Airside environment.

We look forward to fully embracing Gatwick Airport’s “Destination Zero” Programme.
