Exploring Construction at the IDL Plant Expansion: A Visit from CBS Midleton

15 Apr 2026

Last month, we welcomed 20 students from CBS Midleton to the IDL Plant Expansion Project as part of a four-day Accelerator Programme with See My Skills. The programme supports individuals with neurodivergence and/or physical disabilities in developing essential life and career skills.

During the visit, the students were offered a hands-on introduction to construction and engineering. Our team shared insights into PJ Hegarty’s history and the progress of the Plant Expansion project, including an understanding of environmental, health, and safety practices.

A highlight of the day was the practical demonstrations, where students explored GPS technology, Total Stations, and underground service detection, and had the opportunity to try the equipment themselves.

Thank you to everyone involved in delivering such an engaging and informative experience.
