Collen Construction

Two weeks of engagement, learning and a shared commitment to Creating Safer Sites. This video captures some of the activities across Collen during the CIF Construction Safety Campaign, bringing this year’s Back to Basics theme to life through site talks, demonstrations, training and wellbeing initiatives. A sincere thank you to our project delivery teams, Health & Safety teams, guest speakers, training providers and supply chain partners. Your participation and support made these activities possible and the conversations meaningful. #CIFSafetyCampaign #BackToBasics #CreatingSaferSites #Collen #SafetyLeadership #SupplyChainPartners

As we continue to celebrate Construction Industry Federation (CIF), we caught up with Clíodhna Oakes our Senior Cultural Safety Programme Lead to hear her perspective on sustaining and strengthening Collen’s positive safety culture. A strong safety culture requires ongoing commitment, and safety leadership belongs to everyone. Whatever our role, the decisions we make, the standards we uphold and the care we show for one another help keep our sites safe. This year’s “Back to Basics” theme reminds us to maintain that focus every day: planning work safely, managing risks, challenging complacency and speaking up when something doesn’t look right. Thank you to Clíodhna for sharing her insights and to everyone across our teams and supply chain for their continued commitment to Creating Safer Sites.

Collen is celebrating the successful completion of the KIC Phase 1B Civil Infrastructure project. This achievement reflects the dedication, collaboration, teamwork, and professionalism of everyone involved throughout the project lifecycle. From design, planning and coordination through to construction and final handover, the project has been delivered through a strong focus on safety, quality, programme, and client requirements. A huge thank you to everyone involved; our project team, our supply chain partners and our design consultants, for their hard work and collaboration throughout. A special thank you to Kildare Innovation Campus (KIC) and Allan Shine placing their trust in Collen to deliver this ambitious project. Witnessing the finished project come to life is always a rewarding moment, and we’re delighted with what we’ve achieved together. It was a wonderful project to have been involved in and we look forward to building on this success with future projects.

To kick off Construction Industry Federation (CIF) Safety Week 2026, our CEO Mark McGreevy shares his thoughts on the importance of keeping safety at the forefront of everything we do. Safety is about more than processes and procedures. It’s about the decisions we make every day, looking out for one another and making sure everyone plays their part in maintaining a safe working environment. This week provides an opportunity to reflect on those responsibilities and continue the conversations that help strengthen safety across our industry. #CIFSafetyWeek #SafetyWeek2026 #Collen #ConstructionSafety
