A Win for Waterford Institute high resolution imagery is available

Waterford Institute of Technology has won the building chartered institute (CIOB) Student Challenge Final 2006, beating seven other teams in the final from across the UK & Ireland.

Acting as the Design and Build Contractor, responsible for finalising the design, specification and construction of a production unit building facility, each team had a day to pull together key pieces of information for presentation to the client.

Teams had information taken from a real design and build project, donated by R G Carter Colchester, which they had to review and use to produce:

● The design appraisal and value engineering of the project
● A construction master programme and labour resource histogram
● A site layout/set-up and construction team organisation chart
● A presentation summarising their main findings and recommendations from the above.

The panel of experts judging the submissions were impressed with the professional approach teams took towards the project, and the quality of the work produced in a limited timeframe.

The standard of entries was high and after much deliberation the winners of the 2006 Student Challenge Final were named as Waterford Institute of Technology; Caitriona Burke, Paul Brennan, Philip Ryan and Craig O’Brien; second place went to the Royal School of Military Engineering and third to Colchester Institute.

Other competing teams included Inverness College, London South Bank University, City of Sunderland College, Coleg Sir Gar and Omagh College of Further and Higher Education.

Nicola Brown CIOB marketing manager commented, “This years challenge has seen it mature into a truly leading construction event with it receiving the highest number of applications in its history. Each team produced some amazingly innovative and insightful solutions.”
