Farrans Construction opens new office in Claregalway

28 Mar , 2025  

Leading civil engineering and building contractor Farrans Construction has opened new offices in Claregalway following the signing of a number of new contracts which will provide a secure pipeline of work in the west of Ireland for the next seven years.

The office will be a strategic hub from which work across the surrounding counties will be managed.

Farrans was recently awarded the North West region under Uisce Éireann‘s new Water and Waste Water Multi-Supplier Framework, responsible for Donegal, Sligo, Roscommon, Galway, Cavan, Leitrim, Monaghan and Mayo.

The company already has 70 direct staff and over 200 subcontractor staff engaged in this new contract, with 25 squads on the ground working on the installation of new water mains, the rehabilitation of existing mains, leak detection and repairs. Waste water and connection and developer services have also commenced.

John Murphy, Utilities Director at Farrans Construction, said:

“Our new office in Claregalway Corporate Park is perfectly located for our operations in Galway and the surrounding areas. We had previously had a satellite administration presence in Tuam however with an increased workload and growing team we needed to find a larger office space. We now have excellent facilities for client and supply chain meetings, we can host training sessions and we have two large open plan offices for our people.

“Together with our client Uisce Eireann, we are building excellent relationships with local suppliers and council authorities. The demand for skills in the water sector in Ireland is continuing to grow and provide exciting career opportunities. We are looking forward to strengthening our relationships in the Claregalway area as we settle into our new office space.”
