Construction Company of the Year Award

We were delighted to be awarded 'Construction Company of the Year' at the annual Plant & Civil Engineer Awards last night for the second time in 3 years during a glittering ceremony, compered by television and radio sports presenter Adrian Logan, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belfast.

Over the past 43 years, Creagh Concrete has grown to become one of the most innovative manufacturers of concrete products and a leader in its markets for a diverse range of sectors throughout Ireland and the UK.

Privately owned by the McKeague family, the company now operates from five sites locally including its head office and largest manufacturing site in Toomebridge employing over 300 staff.  The company boasts the largest prestressed manufacturing plant in the UK. Creagh have also established manufacturing bases in England and Scotland bringing the total employment to over 600.

The company is driven by innovation and dedicated to providing solutions to changing market needs and is committed to conducting its business with integrity, consistency and reliability. This is facilitated through constant product development, investment in state-of-the-art technology and the continuous training and development of all employees.

The current pace of change in offsite technology and the emergence of new construction options is unprecedented. Creagh Concrete is in that mix, representing a combination of innovation with a solid track record in offsite manufacturing.

Creagh are championing the use of precast concrete through the application of their Rapidres fastrack build system, which is currently winning residential apartment projects of up to 22 storeys.

Rapidres is a fastrack offsite crosswall build system developed for residential projects, including apartments, student accommodation, hotels, social housing and custodial accommodation. Rapidres crosswall technology delivers robust traditional style construction with the speed of a modular build for significant programme savings. Creagh design, manufacture and install the complete structure.

The total frame solution comprises of structural walls and solid or hollowcore flooring and construction speed is greater than alternative systems. Units are manufactured offsite ensuring the desired quality is met and can be left for direct decoration if required. M&E can be incorporated into the production process for all types of services.

Creagh Concrete’s latest construction projects includes Circle Square, a six-storey hotel atop of a 9-storey carpark in Manchester and St. Martin’s Place, a 17-storey premium residential development in Birmingham both due for completion soon.
