The innovative use of collaboration and digital engineering tools to protect London’s water supply by a Cork-based engineering company, and a project born to life in Galway to reduce its customers’ carbon footprint by one gigaton by 2030, are among six projects to be recognised by Engineers Ireland and ESB in a newly unveiled Engineering Excellence Digital Series. The ADVANCER ProjectThermo King – by Trane Technologies, a global climate innovator – is a worldwide leader in sustainable transport temperature control solutions. A federated model of Coppermills Water Treatment Works, LondonCoppermills water treatment works is located in north London adjacent to the Walthamstow Wetlands, a 300-acre reservoir system providing approximately one third of London’s drinking water. This 18-month programme of work and off-site approach saved £6 million in preliminaries, in addition to a 40 per cent reduction in carbon.
