What We Do
The DBFL Way
We are consulting engineers providing multidisciplinary services and solutions to our clients throughout the built and natural environment. ‘”The DBFL Way” is grounded on the principles of partnership, excellence, integrity, and innovation. We are both responsive and ‘hands-on’ in the field of civil, transportation and structural engineering. We encourage and foster creativity to solve complex engineering challenges.
Our dedicated teams focus on client satisfaction, sustainable solutions, and professional development to ensure their projects are successful and ‘make a difference’. Our Leadership Team is actively involved in our projects, working closely with team leaders, technical staff and planners on all aspects of project delivery. We partner with clients and treat their projects and goals like our own.
Innovative Structural Solutions
We deliver sustainably designed, innovative structural engineering solutions across a number of public and private sectors from public buildings to commercial spaces and high and low density residential developments. The projects we work on are varied in nature and scale, from the revival of old dormant buildings with national heritage status like the Redbrick Substation in Dublin Port, to iconic award winning buildings such as the Criminal Courts of Justice and Primark Belfast. Our highly experienced structural professionals develop and prepare cutting edge designs that are cost effective and sustainable. This extends to the use of all current Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) including 3D modular and 2D panelised systems.
BIM Tools and Processes
By combining our technical expertise and technological capabilities , we closely support our client and design team partners in delivering the best solutions, meeting their commercial requirements, while at all times responding to their social responsibilities. Through the use of the latest Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and processes, we deliver large scale projects to BIM Level 2, involving a high level of collaboration between design teams, contractors and clients. The adoption of this process contributes to the successful delivery of numerous projects for public and private sector clients.
Delivering Infrastructure
Our civil engineering teams are at the forefront of infrastructure delivery, helping to drive Ireland forward to meet the objectives of the National Development Plan and aligning with the ever-changing requirements of a modern functioning economy. The type of infrastructure needed continually changes from roads to active travel facilities. From providing flood relief schemes protecting communities, to public health infrastructure and supply. In recent years DBFL has been heavily involved in the design and delivery of port infrastructure meeting the demands of the countries import / export needs.
Sustainable Development
Our expanding portfolio also includes campus development infrastructure including airports and logistics hubs. Future energy related projects are also now part of our offering. Our civil engineering teams have provided expert advice and services on the restoration of old transport corridors such as the Ulster Canal in Clones. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, we strive to ensure that infrastructure we design contributes to national environmental protection and climate action goals. This includes promoting the use of green technologies, reducing carbon emissions, and incorporating climate resilience into the design and construction of new infrastructure.
Constantly Innovating
Our transportation team constantly innovates and evolves to meet the modern needs of society while influencing the sustainable travel agenda. Our teams are continuously developing comprehensive and sustainable mobility strategies for towns, cities and regions, using the latest modelling and simulation technologies to promote well-balanced, multi-modal solutions. Our model outputs are also used to inform air quality and noise pollution considerations which have an impact on our environment.
Expert Planning
Our transport planners provide sustainable travel advice to support the development and operation of modern campuses such as Grangegorman (TU Dublin), Trinity College & Hollyhill in Cork to name but a few. We utilize the latest digital technology to collect data, process and review. GIS is a cornerstone of our transport planning work and we are nationally recognized as industry leaders in this space.
At the core of our work is the delivery of sustainable transport infrastructure which is key to the achievement of national climate change targets.. This ranges from strategic public transport corridors to nationally significant greenway projects. Our industry leading transportation professionals allow us to deliver on our mission of Engineering Sustainable Futures.
