RPS has received the Zurich LAMA Award for their Mulroy Bay
Bridge, winner of the Best Civil Engineering Project in Ireland.
The Award was accepted by RPS chartered engineers - Tony
Magee, Kenny Mason and Peter Fitzgerald - at the Award Ceremony
and gala event, hosted by RTE television presenter Miriam
O’Callaghan, on 30th January 2010 in the Burlington Hotel,
Dublin.
Mulroy Bay Bridge is a high level multi-span bridge over
a sea inlet, 340 metres long, with a main span of 100 metres
and a clearance height for shipping of 20 metres - certainly
a major landmark bridge in Ireland or, indeed, internationally.
RPS
were joined at the Award Ceremony by Donegal County Council
and BAM civil engineering contractors. Bernard Murphy, BAM
Director, said - “We are very proud of having completed the
construction of this visually stunning and complex landmark
bridge which bears witness to the commitment and skill of
everyone involved in delivering this striking structure.”
RPS were responsible for scheme statutory approvals, preliminary
and detailed design, EIS and construction supervision.
The RPS engineer responsible for the project from design
inception in 2001 to final completion - Tony Magee - noted
- “Donegal attracts many tourists and we believe we have been
successful in engineering not only a functional structure,
but also a recognised and highly appealing attraction in the
region.
"We are proud that the bridge over Mulroy Bay has received
national and international recognition.”
