On Friday, 22 September 2023, CIHT was delighted to work closely with Ulster University, Queens University Belfast and University of Galway to bring together 180 first year civil engineering students for the first-time during Freshers Week. 

With significant supprt from Translink and their Delivery Partners (Farrans Sacyr, Arup, Babcock, Arcadis and Graham Group), the students were given a tour of the main works construction site for the new Belfast Transport Hub, as well as an overview of the project including the BIM model and 3D visualisation. 

 

 

   

 

When completed in 2025, the new Belfast Grand Central Station will be the largest integrated transport facility on the island of Ireland. Design activities concentrating on generating ideas for the future of active travel were also carried out at the Ulster University and Queens University Belfast campuses, the results of which will be submitted to the Department for Infrastructure to inform the development of Northern Ireland’s new suite of Transport Plans. 

CIHT NI would like to extend its sincere thanks for all of those who collaborated to make this unique event happen, including our sponsors Northstone Materials Ltd.
