It was great to have our second TOBIN Talk of the year today!

We were delighted to have Brian Gallagher, Technical Director in our Water & Utilities Division, deliver an engaging talk on ‘Sustainability in the Water Sector’ 💧

Brian’s presentation explored energy use in the water sector in Ireland, with a specific focus on Uisce Éireann Irish Water’s ambitious sustainability and energy efficiency policies, and the carbon intensity of their operations. It also highlighted the sustainability challenges associated with the Recast Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.

A big thank you to Brian for sharing his expertise, and to everyone who attended!

🚴Bike Week – Project Highlight: Bundoran to Ballyshannon Active Travel Project 🚴

We are kicking off Bike Week 2026 by showcasing the Bundoran to Ballyshannon Active Travel Project. This project is currently under construction and includes a 5km continuous walking and cycling link between the two Donegal towns.

TOBIN was delighted to work on this project that, once completed, will significantly improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists, offering a more comfortable and direct connection between the two towns. It will also provide benefits for tourism and recreation, encouraging more people to explore the scenic Donegal landscape by bike.

This project is just one example of the many Active Travel schemes that TOBIN has been involved in across the country. We are proud to continue supporting initiatives that help to create environments where cycling is safer, easier, and more enjoyable for everyone.

Some of @TOBINengineers Environment and Planning team enjoyed a day out recently on a Dublin Bay cruise from Dún Laoghaire to Howth. The team spent a couple of hours in Howth exploring the area, grabbing food, and enjoying the seaside before heading back to Dún Laoghaire. Thankfully, the weather also played its part - making a day by the sea even more enjoyable! ☀️

Days like this are an important reminder of the value of connection and teamwork. Taking time to socialise outside of work helps strengthen relationships across the team, encourages collaboration, and gives everyone the well-deserved chance to recharge and unwind together.

☀️ Workplace Wellbeing Week at TOBIN ☀️

April 29th was National Workplace Wellbeing Day, and this year’s theme was ‘Belonging’.

To celebrate, we hosted a week of activities across our TOBIN offices, focusing on simple yet meaningful ways to support our teams’ health and wellbeing.

We kicked off Monday with an introduction to the week ahead, setting the tone for the activities to come.

Tuesday was all about movement, with each office taking part in a steps challenge - well done to all our winners across the offices!

On Wednesday, we focused on sleep, with resources shared to highlight its importance. Our team was also reminded of the supports available through our Employee Assistance Programme, Spectrum Life, including sleep meditations, courses, and sound baths.

Thursday centred on hydration. Reusable water bottles were provided, hydration reminders were placed around the offices, and electrolyte sachets were available for anyone needing an extra boost.

We wrapped up the week on Friday with team lunches in each office - a great opportunity for colleagues to connect, reflect, and recharge together.

A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the week such a success!

Lots to celebrate this week at @TOBINengineers! 🎉

We are delighted to share that planning permission has been granted by @pleanala for the Galway Harbour Extension/New Port of Galway project - a major milestone for Galway Harbour, the city, and the wider region.

This transformative development will deliver a modern deep-water port with expanded marine, cargo, and passenger facilities. It will support long-term economic growth while enabling the relocation of existing port operations from the inner harbour.

TOBIN is proud to have acted as Lead Engineering Consultant and EIS Coordinator on this landmark project, with our involvement spanning almost two decades!

To mark the occasion, we held a small celebration in our Galway office this week - a great opportunity to come together, recognise the collective effort behind this achievement, and congratulate everyone involved.
