A synergistic service – from idea to design to operation.
Egis is the only engineering & operations company in Ireland to have a presence across the full value chain– from upstream feasibility studies and design, planning and construction supervision, to handover, operations and maintenance for decades into the future. The synergy between our services means that we can bring an unmatched breadth of expertise and understanding to the infrastructure in its entirety. The shared knowledge of our multi-disciplinary team allows us to create efficient, sustainable and future-focused infrastructure that shapes the world around it .
Building a better world.
As engineers we are always working to evolve and enhance the world around us to benefit society, communities and families, while at the same time supporting our clients in overcoming climate challenges and creating effective and efficient, sustainable solutions.
We have demonstrated our commitment to these aims across a wide range of projects including our supervision and civil engineering lead on the N22 Baile Bhuirne to Macroom bypass, which reduced congestion while decreasing toxic emissions from transportation in Macroom by a massive 50%. As well as our ongoing work designing, maintaining, operating and supervising Ireland’s main transportation corridors; our tunnels and 470KM of motorways. Not to mention our design of active travel corridors for cyclists and pedestrians, connecting towns and cities all over Ireland as well as the 1,700 new homes currently in development that have been designed by our teams.
Our philosophy
In public transport we’re helping deliver the proposed Luas Finglas extension, itself an extension of our original design for Dublin’s first Luas in 1994.
We’re currently modernising the signalling and train management system on behalf of Irish Rail, helping to improve network safety along 2,400 km of the country’s network. In rail our expertise stretches from feasibility studies to ticketing solutions – to depots, operations, maintenance, analytics, and asset management.
In Cork, we are partners in the delivery of the signalling and communications solution for Cork Area Commuter Rail (CACR), a project that will establish a fully integrated metropolitan area rail network for the city. The CACR programme will enhance and develop over 62km of rail network from Mallow, through to Cork, Cobh, and Midleton.
Continual improvement in Asset Management, Maintenance and Operations.
We are the country’s largest independent operator of infrastructure, and now maintain and manage 470 JM of Ireland’s motorways, and all of its tunnels.
The Dublin Tunnel at 4.7km is one of Europe’s largest urban tunnels, and one of Ireland’s most significant pieces of infrastructure. Tunnel control buildings also house Ireland’s Motorway Traffic Control Centre, equipped with a 55-screen wall monitored 24/7 by our traffic management team who liaise with emergency response services and maintenance teams to ensure safer, frictionless travel for motorway users.
Our asset management and maintenance management teams work continuously to drive efficiencies for users and our clients in Transport Infrastructure Ireland. In 2023 we deployed an initiative to replace all 1,800 lights in Dublin Tunnel, delivering a cost saving as well as an estimated 60% reduction in energy consumption. Our motorway operations teams rolled out similar energy savings through lighting scheme upgrades in Ireland’s M1 North-Link motorway.
Our Links motorway tolling operations all attained ISO50001 in 2023, certifying our energy management approach.
We run the national Disability Toll Exemption Scheme and the nationwide mobile speed enforcement camera systems on behalf of the government, using smart systems designed by and continually updated by us.
Supporting ecological and energy transition.
As a group, Egis has committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions carbon neutral by 2050.
In Ireland we are committed helping support ecological and energy transition in delivery & and operation of projects, pushing to improve operational efficiency, minimise resource consumption, waste generation, emissions and monitoring environmental performance.
Since 2018 we have already cut carbon emissions by 17% across our road networks and use renewable energy across 50% of our operations. From detailed environmental impact assessments to dedicated programmes to boost biodiversity, we ensure projects meet the highest standards for sustainability, recognised by our ISO 14001/50001 Energy & Environmental Management certification across our Irish operations.
