Supporting the future of rail investment in Ireland

We're pleased to have been appointed to Iarnród Éireann's Multi-Party Framework for Project Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy Services in partnership with Roughan & O'Donovan.

The framework covers advisory and design consultancy services across Project Management Procedures Phases 1-5, from project scope, concept and feasibility through to detailed design and tendering.

We'll provide multidisciplinary advisory and design expertise to support projects across Iarnród Éireann's capital investment programme.

This builds on our long-standing relationship with Iarnród Éireann and reinforces our commitment to supporting Ireland's future rail investment programme. Recent collaborations include the nation-wide CONNECT programme, the Glounthaune to Midleton Twin Tracking project and the Drogheda BEMU charging station.

We’re looking forward to helping deliver the next generation of rail projects that will support communities and connectivity across the country.
