Coffey delivers civil engineering works that support infrastructure, development and community growth across Ireland and the UK. Our teams work on projects of varying scale, from early enabling works to complex, multidisciplinary civil engineering packages. We combine technical capability with practical delivery experience, ensuring that ground conditions, programme, safety and operational requirements are managed effectively throughout each stage of construction.
Experience Across Ireland and the UK
Coffey has delivered civil engineering works on transport, water, energy, industrial and public realm projects. Our experience ranges from local enabling works to large-scale infrastructure programmes requiring multidisciplinary coordination.
Groundworks and Earthworks
We undertake a full range of groundworks and earthworks that form the foundations of infrastructure and development projects. Our experience includes:
- site clearance and preparation
- bulk excavation and cut and fill
- ground improvement and stabilisation
- foundations and substructures
- retaining walls and embankments
These works support both standalone schemes and the early phases of larger programmes.
Concrete Works and Structures
Coffey delivers reinforced concrete structures and associated civil works across transport, utilities, industrial and commercial projects. Our experience covers:
- in situ concrete foundations and slabs
- retaining structures, chambers and tanks
- culverts and structural elements
- formwork, reinforcement and specialist concrete placement
- structural modifications and refurbishment
We apply rigorous quality control and testing protocols to ensure durable and compliant structures.
Rail and Public Transport Interfaces
We support rail and public transport improvement programmes with well-managed civil engineering delivery. Works are planned in close coordination with operators and stakeholders to maintain safe operations.
Capabilities include:
- platform works and access improvements
- drainage, ducting and cable management
- foundations, concrete works and structures
- Interface works between rail, bus and active travel schemes
- groundworks and enabling works within controlled environments
Drainage and Utilities
We install, upgrade and rehabilitate drainage and utility networks that support transport infrastructure, residential developments, industrial sites and public realm improvements. Capabilities include:
- surface water and foul drainage systems
- culverts, manholes and chambers
- utility ducting and diversions
- stormwater management features
- reinstatement and connection works
Our teams work in both open-cut and constrained environments, coordinating closely with utility providers and stakeholders.
Enabling Works
We deliver enabling works that prepare sites for construction and support programme certainty.
These include:
- demolition and site clearance
- temporary works and traffic management
- access roads and haul routes
- ground investigation support
- environmental protection and site set-up
Our approach ensures that each project begins with safe, well-prepared and coordinated site conditions.
MEICA Interfaces
Coffey works alongside mechanical, electrical and instrumentation teams on civil interfaces that support water, wastewater and industrial infrastructure. These works include concrete bases, chambers, pipework supports, kiosk foundations and access arrangements for MEICA installation and commissioning.
Approach to Delivery
Our civil engineering delivery is built on:
- planned sequencing and coordination
- safety-led site management
- strong communication with clients, stakeholders and affected parties
- robust quality assurance and compliance monitoring
- environmental management tailored to site conditions
We work in live environments, rural settings and urban locations, adapting our approach to meet operational and community needs.
Clients We Support
We work with public authorities, contractors, developers, consultants and industrial clients requiring dependable civil engineering capability.
