Clare Civil Engineering Limited

What Clare Civil Engineering Limited does

Clare Civil Engineering Limited is a privately held Irish civil engineering contractor incorporated in 1983 (originally as Clare Engineering Limited) and headquartered at Rathcoole, Co. Dublin, with a second office in Clarecastle, Co. Clare. The firm delivers design-and-build and traditional civil engineering projects across four primary service lines — Airport Infrastructure (runway resurfacing, taxiway rehabilitation, apron extensions, fuel hydrant systems), Roadworks (national primary and secondary routes, business park internal networks), Utilities (water supply schemes and airport utility extensions), and Landfill engineering (basal extensions, capping works, civic amenity facilities) — with newer activity in Greenways and Quality Bus Corridors. Its core technology is an owned and operated extensive plant fleet combined with in-house design-and-build execution capability, including specialist night-time working expertise required for live airport environments, demonstrated on the Runway 10/28 overlay at Dublin Airport (100,000+ tonnes of asphalt, 300km of cabling, 21 months of night works) without disrupting airport operations.

The company operates a project-based B2B contracting model, generating revenue through awarded tenders from Irish state bodies (County Councils across Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Cork, Dublin, Fingal, Galway, Leitrim, Limerick, Offaly and Roscommon), semi-state airport authorities (DAA, Shannon Airport, Ireland West Airport), and select commercial clients. It has held ISO 9001 (since 2005), ISO 14001 (since 2011) and ISO 50001 (since 2025) certifications and an unbroken A-grade Safe-T-Cert safety accreditation for 14 consecutive years. Notable partnerships include a 2018 joint venture with Lagan Aviation and Infrastructure for the Dublin Airport runway overlay. The wholly owned subsidiary CCE Developments (established 2004) extends into residential property development, with 24 high-end homes built in Co. Kildare. The firm remains founder/management controlled with no disclosed external institutional investment or private equity backing.
