M62 Motorway Bridge Replacement, UK
Murphy International
The MVN2/48A M62 Bridge Replacement project is a standout example of what true collaboration can achieve. From concept to delivery in under 12 months, it brought together engineering ambition, programme constraint, and aligned teamwork. At preliminary design stage in September 2023, the bridge was fully designed, fabricated, and installed within a year. The 42-metre structure, comprising 70-tonne girders, was fully assembled off-site and installed with millimetre precision over one of the UK’s b
Pipe Bridge, Tarbert Power Station. Co. Kerry
Kerry Mechanical Engineering Ltd
This project is more than just a bridge—it is a symbol of engineering ingenuity, collaboration, and excellence in steel construction. KME’s bespoke 10-ton steel bridge for Tarbert Power Station is a masterclass in overcoming complexity, combining technical brilliance with innovative problem-solving to deliver a structure that stands as a benchmark for the industry. Every aspect of this project demanded exceptional precision: from translating a challenging design into reality, to navigating marin
Railway Station, Banteer, Co. Cork
The Forge (Walls) Mechanical Engineering
This project is part of a wider initiative for making Irish railway services more accessible to all users, including disability users who require extra services to use the rail facilities. The new infrastructure provides ease of access to the station and its services for all types of users. The initiative undertaken by the client may lead to other sectors adapting and upgrading their services to include access for disability users. Transport, like any other product/service should be accessible f
Regional Biosolids Storage Facility
Noel C Duggan Structural Steel Ltd
Standing 850Tn on top of 8m high 600mm thick mass concrete walls has its own difficulties but pairing that with a C5 Corrosivity Environment added to the care our team takes when handling steelwork on site. When you take on a project with 9000No Members all with 140 microns of Galv on them, it is a challange but one we succeeded with. Having Shannonside as a partner with us paid dividends especially handling 18.3m bridge beams, which only a few can HDG in ireland to the spec required.
Water Treatment Plant, Tourmakeady, County Mayo
Hayes Mechanical and Engineering
The Lough Mask Water Treatment Plant project represents the highest standards of precision, innovation, and environmental responsibility in the field of mechanical installation and stainless steel fabrication. Delivered by Hayes Mechanical & Engineering, the project involved the challenging mechanical installation of six large-scale stainless steel tube settler systems at a critical national water facility in Tourmakeady, County Mayo. These IFR6000 modules, designed by Brentwood Industries (USA)
