PUNCH Consulting Engineers is delighted that our Tallaght Public Realm project was awarded “Highly Commended” by the Irish Concrete Society as part of their 42nd Annual Awards event.
PUNCH was the Civil & Structural Engineer within the project team that also included South Dublin County Council as the client; DFLA as the Lead Designer and Landscape Architect; Clonmel Enterprises as the Contractor; Axiseng Consulting Engineers as the M+E Consultant; and Roadstone as the major concrete supplier.
The Annual Awards and Dinner Evening, took place on Saturday 29th March 2025 in the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin 4.
The society noted the below in its press release:
‘This is a well-executed open space in a very busy environment and a great example of robust use of concrete in achieving a pleasing aesthetic finish using etched exposed aggregate concrete. The Client project team wanted a material that was sympathetic to the local environment. The project team including contractor and supplier developed a site-specific concrete mix in terms of colour, hardness of aggregates and a finish that met the expectation of the Client team.‘
