Civil Engineering & Infrastructure
Experience Across Major Infrastructure Projects
Our extensive experience working on major infrastructure projects has given us the knowledge, equipment and skilled workforce required to operate safely and efficiently on complex construction sites, often in challenging ground conditions and around existing infrastructure and services.
Ballyheigue Cliff Stabilisation
P. McNamara Contracting Limited was appointed directly by Kerry County Council to undertake cliff stabilisation and protection works at Castlegregory.
The project involved the supply and placement of approximately 7,000 tonnes of rock armour, together with the installation of specialist geotextiles, gabions and an in-situ reinforced concrete wall to stabilise and protect an existing roadway that had become undermined by coastal erosion.
The works were carried out in a challenging coastal environment and required careful planning and coordination to accommodate tidal conditions throughout the construction period.
Our specialist plant, experienced operators and knowledge of working in difficult ground and environmental conditions enabled the project to be completed safely and effectively, providing long-term protection and stabilisation to the vulnerable section of roadway.
Rail Infrastructure
More recently, we have completed a number of works packages associated with the Limerick to Foynes Rail Line, providing experienced plant operators and specialist machinery for a range of civil engineering works.
Our works included the construction of new level crossing infrastructure, where careful planning and precision were essential due to the presence of existing services and utilities within the working area. Our experienced operators worked closely with the project team to ensure the works were completed safely, efficiently and to the required standards.
We also undertook final landscaping and groundworks associated with the refurbishment of the station building in Foynes, completing the external works to complement the wider station redevelopment.
Tralee Antenna Compound
P. McNamara Contracting Limited was appointed as Civil Works Contractor for the construction of the Tralee Antenna Compound, a relatively small-scale project requiring a high degree of technical precision and careful management of challenging ground conditions.
Our scope of works included bulk excavation and filling, drainage, fencing, precision in-situ concrete works and final landscaping.
The project required close attention to detail throughout, particularly in the preparation of the compound and the construction of the precision concrete elements. Our experienced operators, specialist plant and skilled groundworks and concrete team enabled us to deliver the works efficiently while maintaining the required standards for the technical installation.
The project demonstrates our ability to apply the same level of expertise and attention to detail to specialist, technically demanding projects of all sizes.
Port of Cork Container Terminal Development, Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, supply of plant and experienced operators to BAM Civils to place rock armour and concrete slabs on this major infrastructure project.
Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre
Initially contracted BAM Building to undertake in-ground services installations, we supplied plant and operators to complete works in and around the innovatively designed Cliffs of Moher Visitor’s Centre. Our works included groundworks for the viewing platforms, preparation of hard landscaping and backfill over the structure and final landscaping ensuring the building blended back into the contours of the land.
The Right Experience for Complex Projects
Our ability to combine experienced operators, specialist plant and practical knowledge allows us to undertake technically demanding civil engineering works across a variety of environments.
From major road infrastructure and rail projects to renewable energy developments and challenging groundworks, P. McNamara Contracting Limited brings decades of experience and a practical, solutions-focused approach to every project.
Transport and Road Works
P McNamara Contracting Limited have been involved in some of the Ireland’s major civil engineering projects including the construction of the N69 Listowel By-Pass, the N69 Tralee By-Pass, the N21/N23 Castleisland By-Pass.
We have recently completed our works packages on the Limerick to Foynes Rail Line. We supplied experienced operators and plant to undertake new level crossing works requiring attention to detail in ground which was full of existing services and utilities. Final landscaping and groundworks around the refurbishment of the station building in Foynes.
