PUNCH provided planning engineering services for this proposed windfarm development. The Askeaton development entails the construction of 10 wind turbines located in Morgans North, Askeaton, Co. Limerick. Traffic and Transport Engineering was conducted by PUNCH, considering that the turbine components and machinery would be transported to the site via local tertiary roads. Given that some component parts of the turbine measured nearly 80 meters, PUNCH was asked to complete a SWEPT Path Analysis to identify the most efficient delivery and access route.
To ensure the road could handle the traffic loads, resurfacing work was recommended. Several traffic control measures were necessary during this process, with PUNCH recommending that the works be completed over two distinct phases.
At PUNCH, we understand the value of education. That’s why we support our staff who wish to undertake further education and training. We encourage staff members to maintain their Continuous Professional Development (CPD) accreditations with Engineers Ireland. We also continue to offer training in sustainable design and construction through seminars, in-house lectures, and external training programmes. We promote the achievement of professional titles with institutions such as Engineers Ireland, the Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland, the Institute of Structural Engineers, and the Institute of Civil Engineers.
