L owry Building & Civil Enginering is a multi-award winning construction firm with stand-out projects receiving the highest recognition both regionally and nationally. Most recently, in partnership with NI Water, it won a Green Apple Environmental Award for Best Environmental Practice on NI Water’s Lough Braden and Tullychurry Peat Restoration project. The work at Tullychurry trialled a technique called cell bunding. This technique created low bund walls from fresh oxidized peat, forming watertight cells to hold water,

raise the water table and re-wet the area. This forest is located next to the internationally designated Pettigoe Plateau. After trialling the technique at Tullychurry forest, it was used on 27 hectares of land adjacent to recently felled forest area close to the Lough Bradan impounding reservoir. Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon praised the “innovative and natural solutions” to ”improve raw water quality at source and the techniques used at both these sites also help to tackle the climate emergency.”
