We have great pleasure in announcing that Cork City Council has appointed Sorensen Civil Engineering as Main Contractor to deliver the Glashaboy Flood Relief Scheme.

The flood defences proposed include flood walls, embankments, localised channel widening/deepening, and the replacement of culverts and bridges. The scheme will provide much needed protection for 78 residential properties and 25 commercial premises.

We look forward to delivering this project on behalf of our client, Cork City Council – Comhairle Cathrach Chorcaí, and the funding authority Office of Public Works .

Happy World Environment Day 🌍

At Sorensen Civil Engineering, we are committed to sustainability and protecting our natural resources. We prioritize waste reduction and recycling in all our operations. By implementing efficient waste management practices, we’re minimizing our environmental footprint and promoting a circular economy.

Looking back on our award-winning Marina Park project, one of our major accomplishments was the responsible management of contaminated materials on site. A large quantity of the contaminated material was re-used on-site by implementing a number of innovative methodologies that allowed us to incorporate the contaminated material into the permanent works. Subsequently, we avoided sending significant quantities of material to landfill oversea, thus reducing truck & ship movements. This achieved an increase in environmental standards on the project and resulted in a subsequent decrease in the projects carbon footprint.
