South-East

080_SOUTH_EAST_LOGO_REVThe South-East region is a hub for members across all sectors of engineering and who are based in Carlow, Kilkenny, South Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford. It represents many sectors of the industry, including third level education, local authorities, local government, contractors, companies, researchers and many more. The region provides CPD and social networking events for engineers of all grades and disciplines.

 

Some of the events previously held by the South East region include:

  • Technical presentations on topics like oil spills, water and wastewater and design and development of medical devices
  • Social events like table quizzes
  • EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) update

Durability of concrete containing GGBS when exposed to freezing and thawing

Durability of concrete containing GGBS when exposed to freezing and thawing

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the replacement of Portland limestone cement (CEM II/A-L) with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) at different levels in concrete for exposure class XF after 200 cycles of freezing and thawing. This work is a part of an ongoing project developed in the materials laboratory of LAB Casey Concrete, Co Wexford, in co-operation with Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. Concrete is degraded by cycles of freezing and thawing. The ...
SuperHomes project aims to provide deep retrofit for Irish homeowners

SuperHomes project aims to provide deep retrofit for Irish homeowners

Tipperary Energy Agency has been working on domestic retrofit projects since 2004, supporting the retrofit of thousands of houses. It has acted as project co-ordinator for a number of Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland grant schemes in Tipperary and Galway in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, ensuring a total energy reduction of 5.7Gwh (primary energy savings) and generating 245,282kWh of renewable energy. The residential sector in Ireland consists of an estimated 1.7 million homes. In the ...
The role of aluminium oxide content of GGBS on concrete in exposure to sulphate and acid environments

The role of aluminium oxide content of GGBS on concrete in exposure to sulphate and acid environments

Over the last years great effort has been made in order to substitute clinker for less energy and low CO2 demanding materials. In many countries, it is popular to use GGBS as an additive material to meet these requirements and to improve the durability of concrete. The construction industry needs durable materials with improved properties. Following this objective, this work is a part of an ongoing project developed in the materials laboratory of  Casey Concrete, Co Wexford, in ...

Using innovation and leadership to bring about more efficient sludge removal for Tipperary

  Author: Patrick Moran, executive area engineer, Tipperary County Council In September 2011 due to inadequate sludge processing and high sludge removal costs from wastewater plants I turned my focus to see how this could be addressed for plants in my functional engineering area. Previously, operation of sludge holding tanks on sites resulted in watery, low, dry, solid sludge being produced and insufficient holding processing of sludge in the plants, with a knock-on effect from the ...

Coastal erosion: the main challenges battering Ireland

  Dr Jimmy Murphy, senior researcher at Beaufort, UCC Ireland’s long and varied coastline ranges from high rocky cliffs that can resist Atlantic waves to sandy beaches that seem to change with every tide. Many of our most beautiful landscapes are by the coast and it is largely unspoiled and rich in biodiversity. A large proportion of our population live there and it is the interface through which most goods enter and leave the country. Global coastlines are coming under increased ...

Planning and construction of the Clonmel Flood Defence Scheme

  Author: Cyril Mc Carthy, chartered engineer, Office of Public Works During the flooding of February 2014, residents of Clonmel, Co Tipperary, experienced a new and unfamiliar phenomenon. The prolonged and heavy rainfall saw the River Suir rise to flood levels that were four feet above the quays at the lower end of the town. This flood event differed from the all-too-familiar events of the past, in that the river was contained within its channel (see Fig 1). There was a palpable ...
