PM Group was delighted to be recognised at the Irish Building and Design Awards and to receive the BIM Initiative of the Year award for the Dublin Waste to Energy (DWtE) Facility.

“DWtE is the largest project of its kind in Ireland to date. The delivery of this project required an innovative Building Information Modelling (BIM) Initiative to not only achieve the complex design but to facilitate collaboration by multiple stakeholders in different geographical locations. All of these factors were necessary to deliver such a high profile project,” said Emma Hayes, Group BIM Applications Manager.

The BIM Initiative of the Year Award recognises the DWtE project’s multi-disciplinary team comprised of experts from PM Group (Ireland and Poland) and specialist process contractors from Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI) (Switzerland). The project was based on design criteria set out by the client, Covanta Europe Engineering Ltd.

The DWtE Facility is a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between Dublin City Council and Covanta, a provider of sustainable waste and energy solutions, to provide a thermal treatment plant to treat municipal waste that cannot be reused or recycled.
