Arcadis wins dual awards at Irish Construction Industry Awards 2025

Celebrated for its engineering and safety impact last year, Arcadis secured two major awards at the Irish Construction Industry Awards 2025 for its work on Belfast Grand Central Station, winning Civil Construction Project of the Year and Excellence in Health & Safety.

The Belfast Grand Central Station project demonstrates how engineering innovation can deliver both functional excellence and societal value. Achieving a BREEAM Excellent rating, surpassing social value targets by 265%, and incorporating inclusive features such as sensory spaces and neurodiverse travel packs, the station is a benchmark for accessibility, community engagement, and design excellence.

Arcadis’ recognition in Excellence in Health & Safety reflects its pioneering approach to workforce protection through the SHEQ App, powered by AI and IoT. The platform has achieved a 30% reduction in incidents, enhanced reporting efficiency, and provided actionable insights to continuously improve site safety. Plans to integrate augmented reality technologies demonstrate a forward-thinking commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in occupational health and safety.

“Our judges were impressed by Arcadis’ ability to deliver a project that combines world-class civil engineering with measurable community and safety outcomes,” the panel said.

Arcadis’ achievement reflects the rising standards within the Irish Construction Industry Awards, where winners are distinguished by their ability to integrate innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence.

Carrying forward the trails of last year’s innovators, attention now turns to the 2026 awards cycle, where projects will be challenged to push the boundaries of engineering, safety, and community impact. Who will define the next benchmark for excellence in civil construction?
