About the company

Nearly three decades in the ground

Founded in 1998, Donohoe Excavations Ltd has grown from a small Dublin outfit into one of Ireland's dependable names in groundworks and civil engineering. We're a 100% Irish-owned company, and we still run the way we started: directly, carefully, and with an owner-operator's attention on every site.

Whether it's a single residential dig or a multi-phase commercial development, we bring the same modern plant, trained crews and close project oversight to jobs of every size — small, medium or large — in every corner of the country.

Every stage, on site

From first cut to final compaction, our crews and plant handle each phase of the groundworks and civil engineering process — so you deal with one contractor from start to finish.

Site Clearance & Demolition

Clearing vegetation, structures and obstructions to leave a clean, safe site ready for the next phase of works.

Bulk & Detailed Excavation

Cut-and-fill, trenching and precision digging for foundations, basements and services, sized to the job.

Groundworks & Foundations

Sub-structure preparation, hardcore and foundation works carried out to engineered tolerances.

Drainage & Attenuation

Surface water and foul drainage, soakaways and attenuation systems designed to keep sites dry and compliant.

Civil Engineering

Roads, hardstanding, kerbing and supporting infrastructure for developments of any scale.

Plant Hire & Haulage

A modern fleet of excavators, dumpers and haulage vehicles, operated by our own experienced crews.
