Delivering Infrastructure For Ireland's Energy Transition

Construction News Image

Delivering the infrastructure behind Ireland's energy transition requires more than technical know-how; it depends on hard-won experience, close collaboration and the ability to steer complex schemes from concept to completion.

Allen Dolan, Contracts Manager in Coffey's Energy division, brings over 26 years' experience across major civil engineering, roads, water and wastewater projects. He applies a strong technical, commercial and delivery-focused approach to every assignment.

Working hand in hand with clients, designers, supply chain partners and project teams, Dolan prioritises safe, efficient delivery with long-term value. His track record is built on trusted relationships, clear understanding of client priorities and practical solutions to construction challenges.

He is currently leading the Stream BioEnergy biomethane facility in Little Island, Co Cork. The project will turn organic waste into renewable gas for injection into Ireland's national gas network, supporting the shift to lower-carbon energy.

Dolan's wider portfolio includes temporary emergency generation facilities and synchronous condenser projects that bolster grid resilience and help integrate renewable power across Ireland, supporting a secure and stable electricity system as demand evolves.

He says successful delivery rests on three pillars: understanding the client's objectives, fostering strong team relationships and maintaining a relentless focus on safe, efficient execution. "The best projects are delivered when clients, designers, contractors and stakeholders work together with a shared objective. Building those relationships is just as important as the engineering itself."
