Byrne Looby to design £6.2M Irish flood alleviation scheme

Cavan County Council has appointed Byrne Looby as engineering consultant for a flood relief project in Cavan Town, Ireland.

The project is part of the Irish Government’s €1.3bn (£1.1bn) investment to help protect communities across Ireland from the impacts of climate change through future-proofed, adaptable flood relief schemes. Cavan County Council is delivering it in partnership with the Office of Public Works.

The project has a preliminary cost estimate of €7.3M (£6.2M). Its first stage is anticipated to take two years and will include the necessary surveying and environmental assessments in order to identify options and develop the scheme design in preparation for submission of planning.
