Connecting Ireland

What we do Projects Experts Offices Join our team

Ireland is thinking big about its infrastructure. From nationally significant programmes to locally delivered projects, the country is investing at scale to support growth and long‑term prosperity for the people of Ireland.

At WSP, we turn ambition into action. By combining international expertise with local understanding, we shape places, networks and systems that are resilient, sustainable and future-ready.

Let’s shape what’s next for Ireland.

Global expertise. Local insight.

Our teams in Ireland are part of a global network of engineers, designers, planners, advisors and scientists, bringing together international capability with strong local insights.

We work with both public and private sector clients to tackle complex challenges, linking strategy with delivery and ideas with outcomes. Above all, we help programmes progress with confidence and clarity.

Ireland is at a pivotal point in terms of infrastructure investment, particularly in rail and public transport, and there’s a real opportunity to contribute to projects that will have a lasting impact on how people live and move.

How are we shaping Ireland’s future?

Connecting people and places

Strong transport connections are essential to a thriving Ireland. We support the planning, design and delivery of transport networks that improve accessibility, safety and reliability, while reducing environmental impact.

From active travel and public transport to major road like the N/M20 and rail programmes, like Dublin Metrolink, we help deliver systems that reflect how people live, move and work.

Supporting the energy transition

Ireland’s energy system is evolving. We work across the energy lifecycle, from renewable generation and grid infrastructure to energy efficiency and decarbonisation.

Our role is to support informed decision making and deliver energy systems that are secure, resilient and fit for the future.

Protecting the environment

Ireland’s natural environment is one of its greatest assets. We help clients understand, protect and enhance it, while meeting regulatory requirements and wider development objectives.

Our specialists provide integrated solutions across water, ecology, climate resilience and environmental assessment, helping clients balance development with stewardship of Ireland’s landscapes, habitats and resources.

Integrated thinking, practical delivery

Complex challenges rarely sit within a single discipline. That is why we work collaboratively, bringing the right expertise together at the right time.

From early strategy and business cases through to design, delivery and asset management, we help clients navigate uncertainty and deliver outcomes that last across the entire lifecycle.

Enhancing Cork and Limerick’s regional connectivity

In Ireland, we’re bringing communities closer together. The N/M20 Cork to Limerick Project, for which WSP has provided multidisciplinary technical advice since 2019, will upgrade the connection between the country’s second-and third-largest cities. As well as its economic, social and environmental benefits, the project is redefining how Ireland plans and designs its infrastructure.
