🌍 Farrans achieves Platinum in Environmental Benchmarking Survey 🌍 Business in the Community Northern Ireland’s annual NI Environmental Benchmarking Survey results have been released at an event at Titanic Belfast. We are proud to say that Farrans achieved Platinum in the 2024 Northern Ireland Environmental Benchmarking Survey, the highest level of achievement.

Vicki Johnston, Sustainability Advisor, Farrans Construction, said: “We are delighted to have achieved Platinum status in the BITC survey this year, demonstrating our excellent progress in this area. We have implemented best practice in our environmental processes. We have undergone a materiality study to develop a strategy that identifies 4 key areas of impact Climate Action, Circular Economy & Resource Management, Environmental Protection & Biodiversity and Ethical Procurement & Sustainable Supply Chains.

🎄This year we took part in Mission Christmas at our headquarters in Belfast.🎄 Thousands of children in the UK and Ireland wake up to no presents on Christmas Day. Our CSR team heard the call from Cash for Kids and set up a drop off point for donations of games, puzzles, dolls, books, clothing and vouchers for babies and children aged from 0-17 years old. We have been overwhelmed with the response from our colleagues, particularly at a time of the year when there are more financial burdens on us all. Our pile of presents has grown steadily since we launched the campaign in November and we are delighted to be able to bring a large van full of wonderful donations to the Cash for Kids drop off point at Balloo Hire Centres this week. 💛 We know that these presents will have a big impact for so many children and families on Christmas Day.💛 #socialvalue #community #donations #futuresatfarrans #missionchristmas

We were delighted to get the opportunity recently to photograph one of the largest student accommodation developments in the country at Bottleworks Student Accommodation in Cork.   Bottleworks is a 623-bed, purpose-built student accommodation development which includes multiple 10-storey blocks, located on Carrigrohane Road in Cork. With the delivery of 19,267 sqm student accommodation on a 0.64 hectares site, Bottleworks is a leading example of efficient use of space within Cork City. Sustainable modes of transports are actively promoted with on-site with free bike hire and storage offered to all students. The development of a scenic cycle path to the rear of Bottleworks connects to a wider cycle path along the Curraheen River which makes it possible to cycle from the Carrigrohane Road scheme, via cycle paths, to MTU.   This project was nominated in the category of “ Best New Development” at the Cork Business Association – Better Building Awards, recognising outstanding new construction projects that positively impact the city’s landscape. This award celebrates innovative design, sustainable practices, and thoughtful integration with the surrounding area with this category highlighting developments that enhance Cork’s architectural diversity and contribute to its growth.   DBFL provided the civil and structural design services for this development which is constructed on piled foundations, with the ground floor raised above the local flood level. Constructed as a reinforced concrete flat slab frame, the building maximises the number of storeys along the skyline of the banks of the River Lee. With sustainable practices remaining at the forefront of thinking at construction stage, GGBS cement was widely used in the concrete for this project to ensure a reduced carbon footprint in the concrete production. #EngineeringSustainableFutures Farrans Construction Mitchell McDermott Butler Cammoranesi architects Caldwell Consulting Engineers LTD Cathal O'Meara Landscape Architects  Novel Student #dbfl #dbflengineering #structuralengineering #consultingengineers #sustainability

💫 Social Value 💫 We recently marked the exciting topping out milestone of our Griffiths Farrans JV transformational public transport project at Bristol Airport. While on site we are also delivering a programme of social value and stakeholder engagement which will leave a positive, lasting legacy in the region. We still have lots more great work to achieve before the end of the project and our infographic shows how much we have already done. The public transport interchange and multi-storey car park is part of Bristol Airport’s largest capital project ever. The £60m investment will enhance services and accessibility for customers arriving or departing from Bristol Airport. #socialvalue #sustainability #aviation #england #bristol #construction Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd

✈️Full Marks in Considerate Constructors Scheme Audit✈️ We have scored full marks in a recent CCS audit of our Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) site. LBA is investing £100m into a vital regeneration of its terminal facilities, known as LBA: REGEN, to dramatically improve and enhance passenger experience. Farrans has been appointed as the contractor to deliver Phase 1 of the project, the construction of the terminal extension. LBA: REGEN will see a 9,500 sq. mt., three-storey extension to the existing terminal, alongside a significant refurbishment of the current terminal building.

Congratulations to Rotherhithe Primary School named Regional Finalist in the CIVIC TRUST AWARDS 2025! Rotherhithe Primary School’s redevelopment transforms it into a modern, inclusive community hub. Embracing the concept of a "school within a garden," it extends the green space and openness of Southwark Park into the school grounds, creating a stimulating and protected outdoor environment for students, many from high-rise homes without gardens. The design prioritises inclusivity, with spaces for children with special needs, and fosters community connections through flexible facilities for arts, sports, and workshops. Celebrating local heritage and prioritising sustainability with energy-efficient systems and green features, the school is a beacon of hope and pride for its vibrant, diverse neighbourhood. The project will now compete for National Awards or Highly Commended status, with winners to be revealed in January 2025 and celebrated at the Civic Trust Awards Ceremony in March. https://lnkd.in/ej4iskzZ
