Mallow-based McSherry Electrical Ltd. has secured national recognition after winning the Software and Electrical Engineering Project of the Year award for its work on the Croke Park floodlighting project, delivered in partnership with Musco Lighting.
The award was presented at the Engineering Excellence Awards, recognising the technical achievement behind the stadium’s specialist lighting installation and the work involved in bringing the project to completion.
The Croke Park development presented significant engineering challenges, with a demanding programme and exacting technical standards required. The successful delivery of the project reflected the combined expertise of the teams at McSherry Electrical, Musco Lighting and Croke Park.
The recognition marks another significant achievement for the Mallow company, which has built an extensive portfolio of electrical engineering and specialist sports lighting projects since its establishment in 1986.
The latest award comes as McSherry Electrical continues to expand its involvement in major sporting infrastructure across Ireland.
The company has been appointed by Designer Group to deliver the specialist sports lighting package for the new National Velodrome and Badminton Centre at the Sport Ireland Campus in Abbotstown, Dublin. The €100 million development is being constructed by Walls Construction.
Working alongside long-standing lighting partner Musco Lighting, McSherry Electrical is responsible for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of the facility’s sports lighting system.
The lighting will need to meet demanding requirements for international track cycling and television broadcasting, providing consistent illumination while minimising glare for competitors and cameras.
The new facility will feature a permanent 250-metre indoor cycling track designed to accommodate national and international competitions, alongside a central area incorporating up to 12 badminton courts.
Construction is scheduled for completion in 2027.
Operating from the IDA Business and Technology Park in Mallow, McSherry Electrical has developed its business across sports and leisure, healthcare, education, industrial and institutional sectors.
Its sports lighting portfolio also includes the recent installation of an LED floodlighting system at Chadwicks Wexford Park, again delivered in partnership with Musco Lighting.
The Croke Park award and the company’s involvement in the National Velodrome development underline the contribution of a Mallow-based engineering business to major sporting projects on a national stage.
