Quote

“PPC worked on our Dublin Airport Terminal 1 project and rose to the challenge of delivering the underground distribution pipework for the MTHW and CHW services during the difficult Covid-19 period in the summer of 2020. They had to contend with frequently changing circumstances but the works were completed on time allowing the superstructure works to start on programme. I would use them again on the next distribution pipework project and also recommend them to any contractor in Ireland for their district heating needs.”
