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.

Iarnród Éireann plans an underground DART line to run through Dublin city centre which would complete service capacity from 33 million passenger journeys annually to 100 million. We took a practice-wide approach to this project as our roles included: townscape and visual impact consultants, landscape consultants; providing expert witness at the Oral Hearing; creating visualisations and photomontages; and consultations with key stakeholders including the National Monuments Service, the Department of the Environment, Community & Local Government, and Dublin City Council.

Amgen Master Plan

Our brief was site analysis and development strategy for the phased development of a large scale biopharmaceutical facility on a 52 hectare greenfield site in Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork. The resulting Master Plan incorporates process buildings, packaging and warehousing, laboratories, utilities and a new interchange with the N25, as well as staff facilities and a high quality landscaped corporate campus.

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.

FOODCENTRAL Ireland's National Food Park, Masterplan

Already employing over 1,000 people, the vision for Dublin-based FOODCENTRAL is a sustainable, world-class food-centric business and logistics hub for domestic and export markets.
