PROJECT NAME

DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT WORKS 2019,2020,2021 – CORK CITY COUNCIL

Mac plant and civils company recently undertook a significant local authority contract to carry out extensive drainage works within the community. This project aimed to enhance the overall infrastructure, improve water management systems, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the region. Here are the key points about our company’s involvement in this local authority contract.

PROJECT NAME

YOUGHAL DRAINAGE

The Youghal drainage project involved the installation of rock armour along the drainage channel, providing a robust and erosion-resistant solution. This rock armour acts as a protective barrier, effectively preventing soil erosion and maintaining the stability of the surrounding area. Additionally, our team meticulously reinstated the footpaths affected during the construction process, ensuring seamless integration with the existing infrastructure. 

The result is a well-engineered drainage system that not only effectively manages water flow but also enhances the aesthetics and functionality of the site. We take pride in delivering projects that prioritize both functionality and visual appeal, offering sustainable solutions for all civil engineering needs.
