T.J. O’Connor and Associates and J.B. Barry and Partners, supported by Royal HaskoningDHV for Phosphorus Fixation Project.

The winning project delivers a key element in the water services infrastructure of our capital city. It introduces a new technology to Ireland. It provides a sustainable solution that addresses a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and makes a substantial contribution to the circular economy. The project demonstrates excellent collaborative effort between client, contractor and the group of consulting firms responsible for its design and supervision.

The Phosphorus Fixation Facility is an integral part of the overall Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade. It provides the recovery of a waste and its conversion into a beneficial usable product that creates value for Ireland’s national water service provider, the community, and the country.

The winner of the 2023 ACEI Project of the Year is the Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Study to Process and Store CO2. Ireland’s Climate Action Plan sets out objectives to reduce CO2 emissions including the need ‘to examine and oversee the feasibility of the use of Carbon Capture in Ireland.’ This project assesses the viability and cost of providing Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) facilities in Dublin & Cork to facilitate the capture of 5% of the country’s CO2 emissions. The work includes the preliminary design of a CO2 gathering network, a Central Processing Facility (CPC), ship loading facilities, process engineering and safety processes along with both initial capital and annual operating cost estimating. The project is considered to be a highly significant move in the State’s efforts to reach both current and future climate targets. This project was part funded under the EU Connecting Europe Fund (CEF). It is a unique study which has relevance to the CCS industry worldwide, with findings presented to the Global CCS Association and UK CCS Association in September & October 2022.

The winner of the 2022 ACEI Project of the Year is the Cork Lower Harbour Main Drainage Scheme. The scheme provides treatment for a 65,000 PE population previously discharged, untreated, to Cork Harbour. It includes 36 km of sewers, twenty pump stations, and twin rising mains laid beneath the estuary. Significant works were required in poor ground close to old buildings. A complex project for which the consultant provided a high level of skill in engineering design, planning, consultation, and approvals. The project has had a significant environmental benefit for a wide community. The use of innovative treatment technologies and the recovery of methane to provide power for the treatment plant are considered highly sustainable design features.
