DAIRYMASTER has been shortlisted for the ‘Tech Innovation Award’ category, sponsored by NSAI, of the National Engineers Ireland Excellence Awards 2015.
The Causeway company’s revolutionary Dairymaster Swiftflo Goat Rotary system allows one person to milk 1,300 goats per hour, meaning farmers can hugely increase both output and productivity.
The Kerry County Council ‘Destination Dingle Peninsula Tourism’ App has also been shortlisted for the ‘Local Authority Engineering Initiative Award’
“The quality of Kerry entries shortlisted this year shows the engineering ingenuity and creativity that is a feature of the region,” said Caroline Spillane, Engineers Ireland Director General.
“Overall we are seeing the high calibre of entries reflecting the evolving nature of contemporary engineering, with projects this year from a variety of engineering disciplines from the traditional areas of civil, roads and transport to technology, energy and environmental” she said.
Winners of the various categories of the Engineers Ireland Excellence Awards 2015 will be announced at the award ceremony on November 6 in the InterContinental Hotel in Dublin.
In what is the sixth year of the Engineers Ireland Excellence Awards, the event has grown from six award categories in 2010 to 13 award categories in 2015, with two new categories this year and a record number of entries.
