Recent Activity

The International work order book has been good for the year so far and the work load for the next few years looks very promising. The company commenced a new road design project in Swaziland in September 2009 and also has been awarded another major road supervision project in Tanzania, for the Millenium Challenge Account, which started on site in June 2010. Also a new road supervision project commenced in Malawi in April 2010.

In the water sector, the company is working on an EU financed water scheme on the island of Grenada (West Indies) and this project will run until the end of 2010. We have also secured a new water project in Tanzania for the MCA. Our harbour project in St. Helena Island commenced also in June 2010.

Our highway project in Jamaica has come to a successful completion at the end of 2009 and the major highway project in Kenya will run into 2011, due to the addition of a major weighbridge complex and other infrastructure works into the contract.

The International section is now actively pursuing assignments in Asia, since Ireland has become a full member of the Asian Development Bank. We have already carried out a reconnaissance mission to the ADB Headquarters in Manila and Expressions of Interest for Consultancy Assignments are being actively pursued.
