Over 20 Years of Civil Engineering Excellence

Dylex Drainage & Plumbing has been at the forefront of civil engineering and groundworks in Ireland for over two decades. What started as a small drainage company has grown into one of the most trusted names in the industry. Our experience spans thousands of projects across Dublin and throughout Ireland.

We have built our reputation on three core values: quality workmanship, reliable service, and fair pricing. These principles have earned us long-term partnerships with builders, developers, local authorities, and property owners across the country.

Our Civils & Groundworks Services

Excavation & Site Clearance

We handle all types of excavation work, from small residential digs to large commercial site clearances. Our modern plant machinery and experienced operators ensure efficient, safe excavation every time. We remove spoil, clear sites, and prepare ground for construction.

Drainage Installation

As drainage specialists, we excel at installing new drainage systems. This includes foul water drainage, surface water systems, soakaways, and connection to public sewers. We work to Irish Water and local authority standards on every project.

Foundations & Concrete Works

We pour foundations for extensions, new builds, walls, and commercial structures. Our team handles formwork, reinforcement, and concrete placement. We also install concrete slabs, paths, and hardstanding areas.

Ducting & Services

We install underground ducting for electrical cables, telecommunications, gas, and water services. Proper ducting protects services and makes future maintenance easier. We coordinate with utility companies to ensure compliance.

Road & Footpath Works

We construct and repair roads, driveways, footpaths, and kerbing. This includes sub-base preparation, laying of materials, and finishing. We work on private driveways and larger public realm projects.

Retaining Walls & Land Drainage

We build retaining walls to manage slopes and level changes. We also install land drainage systems to prevent waterlogging and flooding on agricultural and development land.
