Giving back to the Community: As part of our Community Liaison work on our Mungret LIHAF Stage 2 project, our MD, John Wallace recently gave a presentation to the students at Mungret Community College. We received a warm welcome from the students and teachers during our visit and would like to thank the school for their hospitality and all the pupils for taking part.

Works are progressing well on the Mungret road project, which we are delivering on behalf of our client Limerick City and County Council. This new link road will facilitate future housing development and a brand new school premises for the students and teachers at Mungret Community College.

Works have commenced on N72/R579 Ballymaquirk Junction Safety Improvement Scheme. This project entails replacing the existing four-cross-roads with a new on-line roundabout located to the northeast of the existing junction. There is also realignment works on all the existing approach roads forming the four new legs of the proposed roundabout. We look forward to delivering this project on behalf of our client, Cork County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland.

Well done to the site team for getting this project off to a great start.

Sorensen would like to extend a warm welcome to our new Surveyor, Russell Hulett. Russell has recently moved to Ireland from his native South Africa to join the Sorensen team. He has commenced work on our Ballyhooly Roadworks project and brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the site team.

We wish Russell and his family the best of luck settling into Ireland and integrating into the Sorensen team.

Sorensen would like to welcome our Graduate Engineer, Ben Fahey. Ben is a recent graduate from Waterford Institute of Technology & is working on the R614 Ballyhooly Road Upgrade Works. The project team has wasted no time in training Ben to survey and set out the site works. He has proven himself to be more than capable for the challenge so far.

Keep up the good work, Ben!

As part of our ‘Giving back to the Community’ initiative on our Mungret LIHAF project, Sorensen recently sponsored a team for Limerick’s Fittest Superstars which is a fundraising event on behalf of Mungret GAA.

Our Contracts Manager, Brian Snow is pictured handing over the jerseys to team captain Noel Kelly. The event takes place on Saturday 20th May and we would like to wish Noel and his team the best of luck on the day. Go Team Sorensen!

In recognition of #InternationalDroneDay, we’re sharing recent footage from our Churchfield Reservoir Roof Replacement project that we are delivering for #IrishWater.

This is a particularly challenging and complex project that involves the careful removal and replacement of the existing RC roof structure from this 40 mega-litre reservoir. The reservoir remains operational throughout the works and is a key piece of infrastructure for Irish Water in their ongoing supply of potable water to Cork City. The removal works are progressing well, and the team has managed to remove over 80% of the 4,200m2 RC roof structure. Our trusted supply chain partner, #BannagherPrecastConcrete has successfully delivered the replacement precast elements to allow our site team to reconstruct 80% of the roof structure.

Keep up the good work #TeamSorensen and well done on getting this far on the project incident free.
