This award aims to recognise the top environmental engineering projects in Ireland and the teams that drive them. If you can demonstrate addressing environmental challenges through solutions like pollution control, waste management, and sustainable resource utilisation, aligning with Ireland's commitment to sustainability and green technology that has been completed within the last 18 months, then this is the award for you. Applications must either be made by the project engineer (individual, firm, or department), or a project collaborator but only if submitted jointly with the project engineer as we can only accept one submission per project.

Entry is by a 5-page A4 PDF submission; the judges will be looking for a clear plan and evidence that it is delivering on core objectives, paying attention to the criteria listed below.

  • Project: Describe the engineering project in detail, including its purpose, size, scope, timeline, budget, and any green ratings or sustainable features. Include photos and any relevant technical documentation.
  • Excellence: How did you approach the engineering project and ensure excellence in its design and execution? What engineering processes and technologies were used to ensure fitness for purpose and meet all relevant standards and regulations? What made this engineering project stand out from others in its field?
  • Challenges: Please highlight any challenges faced throughout the engineering project, such as technical or logistical difficulties, and describe how they were overcome.
  • Impact: What positive impact has the engineering project had on the community or industry it serves? What steps were taken to ensure the project adhered to sustainability best practices? How has the engineering project contributed to the advancement of its field or addressed a significant challenge or opportunity? How does it stand to impact the future of engineering and related industries?
