Murphy featured in a very special episode of Dermot Bannon’s Room To Improve on RTE One TV last Sunday night. Over a half a million viewers tuned in live to watch the programme, which saw Murphy teams pitching in on the Julian Benson Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Tranquillity House charity project in Dublin. When it opens this spring, Tranquillity House will provide a home away from home for people with CF and their loved ones, who often have to travel long distances to hospital in Dublin for treatment. Murphy was the first company on-site during the first weeks of January 2024 to erect site hoarding and commence demolishing works within the existing basement of Tranquillity House. Murphy teams then returned throughout the year to complete comprehensive structural works to the existing load-bearing walls, installation of new subfloor service, new extension foundations, installation of new basement concrete sub-floor, ducting, groundworks, electrical support, and general site labour.

A joint venture consisting of leading engineering contractors, Kenaidan and Murphy, has been awarded the construction manager contract to help inform the detailed design, and provide construction management advice, for upgrades to Oakville GO station during the project development stage. Oakville GO station provides critical transport infrastructure and requires improvements and modernisation to support an increased number of passengers and enhance operational performance of the network. The project will include station building upgrades, upgraded platform works, accessibility improvements and parking lot improvements. Rob Gray, President of Kenaidan Murphy Joint Venture (KMJV), said; “We are delighted to be delivering design advice to Metrolinx to upgrade the second busiest station on the network outside of Union Station. During the development stage, KMJV will work closely with Metrolinx on potential solutions to design challenges. This reduces the risk of potential delays and will help get the project built faster. It also allows for greater innovation, efficiency, and quality management throughout the design process. KMJV formed in order to unite Kenaidan’s Ontario experience with Murphy’s transit expertise, and we are looking forward to deploying this collaborative approach alongside our customer Metrolinx to provide transit passengers with the best end result.” For more information on our joint venture with Kenaidan, please click here: https://kenaidanmurphy.com/ HIGHLIGHTS Oakville GO station provides critical transport infrastructure The project will include station building upgrades, upgraded platform works, accessibility improvements and parking lot improvements
