A cohort of 25 civil engineering students have visited the site of the £200 million Farrans/Sacy JV Belfast Transport Hub Project to see its progress first-hand.

FK Lowry Piling welcomed the Belfast Metropolitan College students to the site, with an introduction from Project Manager David Bolton from Farrans/Sacyr.

Following a HSEQ briefing, the students sat a CPD Piling Presentation on piling and ground engineering, after which the students were able to view the piling operations on site.

FK Lowry is currently delivering the £2.7m CFA Piling Project on the site with its Soilmec SR-75 and SF-65 Piling Rigs.

Mark McKeown, Business Development Manager at FK Lowry Piling, said: "The Belfast Transport Hub Project is the largest Building and Civil Engineering Project that has been undertaken in Northern Ireland for many years. The project is transformational for Transport Infrastructure for the people of Northern Ireland and we at FK Lowry are delighted to play our part in delivering the scheme. We are really pleased to welcome the students to site today and have built up a really good relationship with Belfast Met and their Civil Engineering Department. It will be wonderful to see these students entering the industry and we look forward to keeping in touch."
