Delivery of High Voltage Electrical Systems Course

Suir Engineering were delighted to work closely with South East Technological University (SETU) and Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) to deliver a new High Voltage Electrical Systems course now available for the next generation of HV specialists.

The combined collaboration and expertise between CIF, SETU, TUS and Ireland’s leading electrical engineering firms enabled the development of an innovative Level 6 programme to meet the changing needs of the industry.

The High Voltage Electrical Systems course is designed to upskill electricians and electrical engineers in the highly specialised area of High Voltage and aims to develop industry-recognised competence in areas such as High Voltage electrical installations, grid connections, substation maintenance and switching facilities.

We are proud to have played a key role in the development of the new programme. Our specialist expertise within design and build solutions for large scale and first of kind projects throughout Ireland and the Nordics allowed us to have significant input into the course.

Thank you to our Joseph Colleran who gave a considerable amount of his time providing suitable content for the course.

Suir, which employs 1,300 people and is headquartered in Waterford was a jointly owned subsidiary of Dalkia and EDF Energy.

There will be no change to the day to day running of the company and operations will continue as normal from our main base in Waterford and our other offices in Dublin, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Frankfurt.

The company said the transaction, which includes investment by the senior management team, will enable it to enhance the services it offers to clients, while operations will continue as normal from its main base in Waterford and its other offices in Dublin, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Frankfurt.

 Suir, which has nearly four decades of engineering expertise in its core sectors of Pharma, Energy & Utilities, Food & Beverage and Data Centres, has an annual turnover of around €300m.

 The completion of the transaction remains subject to obtaining applicable regulatory approvals.

Duke Street, one of Britain’s best known private equity groups, has a strong track record of investing in industrial service companies. Over the last 25 years it has invested over €2.5bn in more than 50 companies, achieving investment returns in excess of 25% over that period.

Paul Adams, Partner at Duke Street, said Suir’s reputation as a provider of innovative engineering solutions on projects across Europe was second to none.

“We are delighted to acquire Suir Engineering, a market-leading business that is a great fit for our investment program. The Duke Street team has previous successful experience in industrial services as well as Suir’s underlying sectors. The company has a highly skilled workforce, an extremely strong safety record and a healthy pipeline of projects across Europe in all of its highly attractive end-sectors. We have been impressed with Suir’s growth strategy and we look forward to actively supporting the existing management team in delivering their ambitious plans.”

Michael Kennedy, Managing Director, Suir Engineering, said he believed the partnership with Duke Street would be transformative for the company, enabling it to grow steadily while continuing to provide the best service possible to its Irish and international clients.

“We at Suir are looking forward to partnering with Duke Street who share our vision, values, and ambition. Together, we will accelerate Suir’s growth by investing in people and expanding the business proposition to include more international work in key client sectors such as technology, renewables, and life sciences. We believe this will consolidate our position as a leader in the provision of mechanical, electrical and instrumentation engineering services that are expertly delivered by our very experienced team.”

CIF Safety Week 2022

CIF SILVER SPONSOR 2022

Suir Engineering are delighted to announce that we are proud sponsors of the CIF Safety Week 2022.

We are calling on all companies, organisations and individuals working in construction to get behind and involved in Construction Safety Week 2022. Safety Week is an important initiative to celebrate best practice, to reinforce and promote the importance of safety, health, and overall wellbeing at work and in life.  

Construction Safety Week is an initiative of the CIF Safety and Health Subcommittees, which two of our EHS employees Colum Costello (Group EHS Manager) and Aoife Gilheany (Regional EHS Manager) form part of. The national awareness campaign aimed at promoting positive safety and health amongst Ireland’s 159,000+ construction workers, clients and industry stakeholders. The goal is to generate engagement amongst CIF members and non-members alike, to further promote a culture of safety, health and wellbeing in construction.

This year, the campaign will run over the entire month of October but at a pace that allows for more engagement, and staggered scheduling of activities. The focus will be on supporting the Lighthouse Club’s ‘Help Inside the Hardhat’ campaign in the first week (from 10th October), followed by 5-days’ focus on site safety, spread over two weeks (17th – 28th October). 

Please take note of the following key diary dates for Construction Safety Week 2022

Earth Day 2022 – How can you Invest in our Planet?

Earth Day  2022 – How can you Invest in Our Planet? 

At Suir Engineering we are extremely aware of our Sustainability responsibility and are currently working towards a greener future by implementing procedures and creating new sustainable employment positions across the business to ensure we are taking the right steps to invest in our planets future.

In honor of Earth Day 2022, here are some simple steps we can make to celebrate Earth Day and make positive changes for our Planet. 

  • Follow the 3 R’s: Look for ways you can Reduce, Reuse and Recycle throughout your home. You’ll save natural resources, energy and money, and you’ll reduce waste sent to landfill.
  • Conserve Energy at Home: From turning off lights and electronics when not in use, to using a programmable thermostat, to changing your air filter regularly, thee are many small things you can do to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while saving money on your utility bills. 
  • Slow it Down: Fast food, fast fashion and fast fads result in mass overconsumption of goods that are rarely needed, that deplete natural resources and cause mass pollution. 
  • Reduce Paper Waste and Junk Mail:  Think twice before printing things at work and home. You can reduce your mail by using online payment options that avoid paper bills etc, And there are services that will remove your name from unwanted mailing lists to reduce junk mail. 
  • Stop Spraying: Pesticides, herbicides and insecticides have their uses but dandelion never killed anyone, a fly swatter is great exercise and, in a sane world, organic farming would be the norm, not the exception.
  • Give your car a break & start thinking Electric: Whether you’re commuting to work or running errands, you just might be able to leave your car at home, even a few times a week. Remember walking, cycling, jogging are all great ways to help the environment and your health and wellbeing. Also – do your research and start looking at alternative electronic vehicles if this is something that is an option for you.
  • Replace your bulbs: Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and LED bulbs may cost more than incandescent bulbs, but they will save money over the long run, last longer, and use up to 99 percent less energy.
  • Buy local: Buying local produce and other items reduces shipping distances from food sourced overseas, and also supports local businesses and communities.
If we can take on some simple new habits each year, the world will be a far greater place. One by one, we can all make a difference to future proof our world for the next generations. 

Thanks for your time folks, we hope you can find the time to try out some of our tips.
