We are excited to announce that Doran Consulting has been shortlisted as a finalist at this year’s Irish Construction Excellence Awards in the Engineering Design Excellence – Element Value €10m – €20m category for the Greencastle Breakwater Project.
Project Details:
The Greencastle Breakwater Project is €18 million investment aimed to extend and upgrade the existing breakwater at Greencastle Harbour, a significant fishing port on the Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal. The breakwater extension and upgrade were designed to improve safety and navigation by mitigating disruptive wave motion and ensuring safer harbour entry. The design accounted for wave climate, climate change impacts, and potential settlement over a 60-year lifespan, using naturally occurring rock armour and core materials.
Despite the challenges of working in a live marine environment and sourcing materials, the project was completed on time and within the €14.4 million budget. Doran Consulting led the civil and structural engineering, project management, and design. The project was delivered on time, within budget, and aligned with Donegal County Council’s vision for sustainable coastal infrastructure.
We are honored to be recognised for our work and extend our gratitude to Donegal County Council and the entire project team.
