Block J, Garda HQ – Shortlisted for ACEI Awards

Varming Consulting Engineers Ltd. are delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for the 2025 Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland “Mechanical & Electrical project” for the professional services provided on our Block J Garda HQ project.

Block J is an historic building and protected structure located within the Garda HQ campus in the Phoenix Park on the southern edge of the parade ground. A substantial part of Block J dates to the 1861-7 phase of construction at An Garda Síochána headquarters.

Working closely with our Client, the Office of Public Works, the refurbishment works involved comprehensive renewal of all mechanical and electrical services installations as well as fitout and decoration to accommodate a highly specialist unit within An Garda Síochána and to provide a modern flexible workspace to allow the buildings users to operate efficiently and in line with current practices as well as providing adaptability into the future.
