The Torc Housing Partnership consortium, comprising Senda Infraestructuras, a subsidiary of OHLA, and its strategic partners Equitix, Kajima and Tuath, has completed the housing units of the Social Housing Bundle 2 (SHB2) public-private partnership (PPP) residential building project in Ireland.

The SHB2 initiative comprises the construction and maintenance, over 25 years, of 465 new sustainable social housing units – 110 flats and 355 houses – with an investment of more than €130 million. The project is subject to the availability payment model (fixed payments by the grantor), is the Government’s second social housing investment package in the region and covers the counties of Cork, Kildare, Clare, Galway, Waterford and Roscommon.

For the execution of the project, OHLA has applied the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology and Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) criteria, meeting the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2010/31/EC).

OHLA has a long track record in the field of residential construction, with more than eight million square meters built and distributed in more than 60,000 homes, and a presence that extends to Europe, USA, and Latin America.
