Mid West National Road Design Office Secures Prestigious Accreditation

The Mid West National Road Design Office has been recognised with a re-accreditation from Engineers Ireland.

Based in Limerick City and County Council, the office secured Continuing Professional Development (CPD) re-accreditation following an audit by Engineers Ireland in March this year.

The audit assessed the office under seven criteria including its training systems, staff mentoring, staff competencies, training and development. The re-accreditation was awarded for the maximum period of three years.

The Mid West National Road Design Office is a shared service between Limerick City and County Council, Tipperary County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland. Among its current projects are the N/M20 Cork to Limerick Transport System, the Road Schemes on the N21 for Abbeyfeale and Newcastle West.

Mayor of the City and County of Limerick Cllr Daniel Butler said: "Achieving CPD re-accreditation for the maximum three year period demonstrates the office's achievements in developing best-practice, smart ways of working and also its commitment to staff training and professional development. I would like to congratulate the Mid West National Road Design Office on its re-accreditation achievement."

Tim Fitzgerald, Senior Engineer, Mid-West National Road Design Office added: "The Mid West National Road Design Office manages the design and delivery of national route transportation schemes and greenways throughout the Mid-West region. This includes a number of high-profile strategic transportation schemes, such as the NM20 Cork to Limerick scheme, the Foynes to Limerick (Including Adare Bypass) scheme and the N24 Cahir to Limerick Junction scheme. CPD Accreditation with Engineers Ireland supports and guides our office and staff to continuously improve and develop best practices in the workplace to achieve our targets."

In addition to the CPD accreditation, the Mid West National Road Design Office holds ISO 9001 Quality Assurance accreditation with the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI).
