ADBP Partner awarded DPC Rising Star of 2018
Dr
Colm Sheehan was honoured by the International Dredging and Port Construction
(DPC) industry at their annual award ceremony on Tuesday in Amsterdam, being
named the Rising Star for 2018. Colm has been involved with the dredging industry
since 2006, and joining the dredging consultancy Anthony Bates Partnership in
2010 after completing his PhD in dredge material management.
Colm
has been an active committee member of CEDA for several years and also has involvement
with PIANC working groups. In his current role, he is responsible for the whole
range of dredging related disciplines including feasibility studies, contracts,
licensing, surveys, project management, site supervision and client liaison. An
Irishman from Cork, he now handles all of the partnership’s work in Ireland for
many of the Port and Harbours, as well as working on international capital
projects and expert witness cases.
The
DPC judges stated that “Colm is a
dedicated and extremely hard worker and his productivity is formidable, but
more importantly his deep and profound interest in Dredging makes him the
perfect recipient of this award. The judges look forward to how Colm’s career
will continue to progress.”
