Industry & Infrastructure

It's not easy to travel anywhere in Ireland without coming across one of our Industry & Infrastructure projects! Stitching something new - a road, an airport, an industrial development - into the very fabric of our country is always a fascinating, multi-faceted challenge. Our practice has been involved in the delivery of most of Ireland’s key strategic developments - national roads, energy projects, major industries, airports, ports and general infrastructure.

We create teams to offer our clients the highest quality services, including: strategy preparation; site and facility masterplanning; environmental assessment; planning advice and consultation; landscape master plans and contracts; planning applications and appeals; mitigation and rehabilitation strategies; and photomontages and project visualisations.

Aughinish Alumina

Jazz Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Development Facility, Athlone

Jazz Pharmaceuticals are investing in a new €50million manufacturing facility at Monksland, Athlone located on a 17 acre site. We designed and developed the site masterplan to include new boundary treatment, attenuation area to provide a wildlife habitat and a high quality formal and ornamental landscape design treatment for an attractive frontage to the main public area incorporating the Administration Building. Sensitivity to the site context and Greenbelt designation allowed for a less formal approach on the edges of the site.
