Waterman Moylan Consulting Engineers

What Waterman Moylan Consulting Engineers does

Waterman Moylan Consulting Engineers is a Dublin-headquartered multidisciplinary engineering and environmental consultancy, founded in 1980 and operating as the Irish subsidiary of Waterman Group Plc (itself owned by Japan's CTI Engineering). The firm employs approximately 87 staff and delivers civil, structural, transportation, mechanical and electrical, sustainability, and construction-related health and safety consultancy across the full asset lifecycle — from acquisition and appraisal through planning, design, construction, operations, asset management, and divestment. Proprietary engineering methods evidenced in major schemes include glass fibre anchor ties for basement excavation (College Square), Vierendeel trusses for vibration-sensitive hospital buildings, steel cantilevered trusses enabling tower-over-office integration, water-resisting White Tank basement construction in tidal groundwater conditions, and Mass Engineered Timber achieving a 535 to 259 kgCO2E/sqm embodied carbon reduction on a creche. Waterman Moylan also delivered Ireland's first privately developed Net Zero Carbon public building.

The firm earns revenue almost exclusively through professional service fees on a project-by-project basis under negotiated contractual arrangements with enterprise property developers, hospitality operators, and government/public-sector clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are won through direct appointments, public tenders, and repeat business. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a corporate website with project case studies, an expert-directory search function, LinkedIn presence, and earned media via consistent industry award submissions (ACEI, IStructE Ireland, Irish Construction Excellence, IBDA, RIAI). Multidiscipline in-house delivery is positioned as a differentiator, eliminating subcontracting for most workstreams.

Sectors served span aviation, commercial, conservation/heritage, education, government and public buildings, healthcare, highways, hotels and hospitality, industrial, marine, residential, retail, and urban regeneration. Customer concentration sits across both private developers (Walls Construction, Marlet Property Group, Kennedy Wilson, Gannon Homes, Green Sea Property, Oakmount, Kennedy Wilson, Ruby Group) and government/agency buyers (Dublin Airport Authority, Dublin City Council, Kildare County Council, Land Development Agency, Northern Ireland Health Trust, Department of Education). Notable anchor projects include College Square (540,000 sq ft plus Ireland's tallest residential tower at 82m), Clerys Quarter (heritage restoration), Capital Dock (multiple award winner), and Cherry Orchard Point (1,100 homes).
