TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients are Saying About Us

“Molloy Consulting Engineers Limited are the lighting designer for the N/M20 Cork to Limerick Project. James is designing the lighting for the Mainline, the Active Travel and the Transport Hubs and his efficiency and responsiveness has greatly assisted the N/M20 Project Team, including Barry Transportation (Egis) and WSP staff, with their delivery of one of the most prestigious projects in planning at the moment.”

“I worked with Molloy Consulting to deliver public lighting and found their design services to be professional, efficient and of high standard. Their work met all our requirements and was delivered on time”

Brendan O’Leary, Senior Executive Engineer – Cork City Council

“North-Link M1 Ltd engaged the services of Molloy Consultant Engineers in 2022 to conduct a review of the existing road lighting on the M1 PPP (Junction 7 – Junction 17). The purpose of the review was to assess the quantity of lighting units at the 11 junction with a view to reducing energy and the carbon footprint of the project and to align the lighting design with the TII standard Design Of Road Lighting For the National Road Network (DN-LHT-03038) at the time. James carried out a thorough review and redesign of the lighting stock, ensuring there were no ‘dark spots’ and there was uniformity of lighting at each junction. The redesign enabled North-Link to reduce the lighting stock by 51% and reduce energy use by 1.35 gWh/annum.”

Damian O’Brien, General Manager – North-link M1 Ltd.

“Kildare County Council has enjoyed a strong working relationship with Molloy Consulting Engineers over the years. We worked very well with James Molloy Sr., and since his son James Jr. has taken over, that high standard has continued.
As our Public Lighting Consultant, and in their roles as ESB Live Working Manager and ESB Authorising Officers, the team has been professional, reliable, and easy to deal with. Their work on design reviews and electrician audits has been thorough and consistent.
We appreciate the ongoing support and look forward to continuing the partnership.”
