What AWN Consulting does

AWN Consulting Ltd. is a Dublin-headquartered, multi-disciplinary environmental consultancy founded in 2000 and operating since 2020 as a subsidiary of US-based Trinity Consultants Inc. under the combined Trinity-AWN brand. The firm employs 60+ environmental consultants, engineers, field technicians, and administrative staff, organised across five service lines: Building Acoustics (noise management, sustainable design, Part E testing, architectural acoustics, and 3D Odeon acoustic modelling), Environmental Services (air dispersion modelling with BREEZE AERMOD, environmental impact assessment, noise and vibration, air quality, climate services, licensing and permitting, and monitoring/compliance), Soil/Water/Ecology (hydrogeology, flood risk assessment, environmental due diligence, and Water Framework Directive work), Waste Management (resource and operational waste plans, detailed waste design, licensing, and classification), and COMAH/Seveso Risk Management (HAZID, quantitative risk assessment using DNV PHAST and Gexcon Effects, and safety report preparation). Project-based professional services are delivered on a fee-for-service basis to industrial operators, infrastructure developers, government bodies, contractors, and Fortune 500 inward investors across Ireland and the UK, with vertical specialisations in infrastructure, industrial, property and construction, data centres, pharmaceutical, energy, and water. The firm is ISO 9001/14001/18001 certified, an Engineers Ireland CPD Accredited Employer, and holds SITRI registered tester status for Part E compliance.

The firm monetises through quote-based, project-by-project engagements with multi-year contract cadences on flagship programmes such as Metrolink, DART+ West, Busconnects Dublin, Luas, and Cherrywood. Revenue is generated by deploying specialist modelling and assessment expertise — drawing on dedicated personnel across EIA, air quality, acoustics, hydrogeology, and risk — rather than through productised software or recurring subscriptions. Channel reach is direct enterprise and government engagement, supported by the firm's professional reputation, project portfolio shown via case studies, and its integration into Trinity Consultants' global network, which provides access to specialised technical resources and cross-border delivery capability beyond what a 60-person local firm could achieve independently.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: Global design and consultancy firm with active environmental, water and climate practices serving Irish infrastructure and real estate clients. Overlaps with AWN's environmental and climate risk advisory offerings at the larger end of project scale.
• Jacobs: Global professional services firm with environmental, water and permitting capabilities serving Irish and European infrastructure, energy and pharma clients. Comparable as a multinational incumbent bidding on the same complex EIAR and COMAH projects.
• WSP: Global engineering and environmental consultancy with substantial Irish operations covering EIA, acoustics, air quality and planning. Competes for the same infrastructure, transit and development projects but as part of a much broader service portfolio.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm delivering environmental impact assessment, acoustics, water and risk services in Ireland and the UK. Comparable as a one-stop-shop incumbent that AWN is often subcontracted to or competes against on major projects.
• Trinity Consultants: US-headquartered multinational environmental consultancy and AWN's parent (since 2020). Overlaps fully on air quality, permitting and risk management services but at much greater scale and geographic reach; comparable because it is both the parent and the dominant group brand on AWN's projects.
• Wood (Wood Group): Global engineering and consulting group with environmental, air quality and risk practices serving energy, pharma and infrastructure clients in Ireland and the UK. Overlaps with AWN on EIA, permitting and process safety/COMAH work.

Direct peers

• Fehily Timoney: Irish environmental and engineering consultancy offering EIA, waste, water, geotechnical and planning services. Competes head-to-head with AWN for Irish infrastructure, waste licensing, and environmental assessment mandates.
• RPS Group: Ireland-headquartered environmental, planning and engineering consultancy delivering EIA, acoustics, water, and risk management services to public and private clients. Directly comparable to AWN in service mix, geography (strong Irish presence) and client base (infrastructure, government, energy).
• SLR Consulting: Global environmental and advisory consultancy with strong UK/European footprint offering EIA, acoustics, air quality, waste and risk services. Closely comparable to AWN in service mix and target client profile (developers, industrial operators, infrastructure).
• TOBIN Consulting Engineers: Ireland-based multidisciplinary engineering and environmental consultancy with services spanning planning, environmental, water and energy. Directly comparable as an Irish domestic rival for environmental and infrastructure work.
