Waterman Moylan Consulting Engineers for Clerys Quarter.  Located on the main thoroughfare of Dublin, the Clerys Quarter project involved the repair, restoration, and extension to the historic Clerys Building, originally constructed in 1922. The development also saw the construction of a new six-storey building. The completed development provides 32,000m2 of mixed-use space for retail, cafe, office, and hospitality use. The project involved the conservation of existing building fabric and retention of the 1922 concrete structure, with the addition of an independent large-span steel structure to support three new additional floors and roof. The consultant C&S engineers were appointed from concept to completion for the development. The scheme demonstrates an innovative and sensitive design approach to the delivery of a project involving a building of cultural significance on a challenging site. The project is an example of engineering excellence, with an innovative design utilising BIM. This redevelopment will form an integral part of the regeneration O’Connell Street and the wider north city centre.

A 17-storey, 73m high, office block, the tallest commercial building in the State, The Exo is a celebration of engineering. Innovative, bespoke solutions are present throughout and are, in some instances, a first for Irish Construction. The Exo Truss is a complex structure supporting the building at just three points, spanning 36m between cores, and cantilevering 21m at either end. The major design challenge was to reduce deflections at the tip of the cantilevers to a range compatible with glazing tolerances. The selected methodology was to prestress the steel diagonals, by hydraulic jacking, to remove elongation due to self weight prior to de-propping.

A project of significant scale occupying almost the full length of Fitzwilliam Street. Comprising two 5/7 storey blocks over triple basement, with an overall floorspace of 42,000 m2 above a semi worked-out quarry. The outcome of an International Design Competition, conceived to complement its Georgian core setting, it features hand laid brick walls as the primary load bearing element along Fitzwilliam Street. Innovative structural details include large Vierendeel trusses offering clear spans up to 15m, slip formed cores, and GGBS to reduce embedded carbon footprint. The project is a worthy winner of a competitive category.
