I would like to thank Mr Patrick Ryan, for his role in helping me to obtain work placement in Carey Developments after he recommended me to Paul Carey of Carey Developments. I don’t know where I would have found placement without their help and it was very much appreciated getting something so close to home.
I would like to thank Mr. Sean Canney, who prepared the class for the placement and gave advice on what to expect and how to deal with the situations we might find ourselves in. Also for helping me ensure that I had my safe pass in time to start my work placement.
I would like to thank Brian Day from Ryan Hanley who is resident engineer for the project for providing me with information and drawings regarding this report
Finally, I would like to thank all the staff at Carey Developments who made me feel like part of the team there, especially Pat Finan who was in charge of me on site and Kieran Healy who I worked under in the office. The experience I gained during the six week placement will be of great benefit to me. I would like to thank Claudia McCarthy, Loretta Kirranne and Oliver Kennedy and Marie Mill for providing information for the report.
