Overall Innovation of the Year winner: PanelDuct
From the corner shop to the multi-storey offices, the galvanized metal ventilation tubes run through roof cavities like the arteries of most modern constructions. Most of the time they are only visible on the roofs, but they represent significant costs and headaches for construction projects.
The new innovation from PanelDuct is that instead of creating bespoke ducting systems for every build, it has come up with a patented flat-pack ducting system that can be quickly assembled on site and added to as needed. It’s a robust engineering solution that eliminates two of the three stages involved in the installation of traditional systems, dramatically cutting costs both in terms of time, wages and transport.
Engineer Pat Walsh first struck upon the idea several years ago but it was with the arrival of R&D manager Conal O’Neill that the project finally became a commercial reality. The firm has already been involved in build projects with Tesco, the recent refurbishment of Ashford Castle and earlier this month had great success at an international trade show in Germany. “The issue now is managing our growth and meeting demand,” says Walsh.
PanelDuct also took the manufacturing category, but there other winners on the night as well.
