Colin Burke Electrical
Educational Projects
At Colin Burke Electrical Ltd., we are proud to have played a key role in the development of numerous educational facilities across Ireland. Our expertise spans a wide range of projects, from new builds to major renovations, with some schools designed to accommodate up to 1,000 students. Over the years, we have completed both large-scale, long-term projects and short-term summer works that focus on electrical upgrades, helping schools meet modern sustainability standards.
One notable project involved the design and construction of a state-of-the-art, 11,443 m² post-primary school that includes a mix of three-storey and two-storey buildings, a Special Educational Needs (SEN) Unit, and extensive amenities such as a PE Hall, ball courts, and modern staff and student facilities. We were also responsible for the installation of an ESB sub-station and all related site works.
Another key project included the comprehensive electrical upgrade at St Nessan’s NS under the Energy Pathfinder scheme. This upgrade enhanced safety, efficiency, and capacity, featuring new high-capacity panels, energy-efficient lighting, and updated fire alarm systems.
Our portfolio also includes projects under the Department of Education’s Rapid Build Schools programme, where we provided electrical installations for two schools in Claregalway, County Galway, completed in just 12 months. Our work included DALI lighting, data infrastructure, fire alarms, and advanced security systems, all coordinated using BIM to ensure a seamless execution.
Additionally, the electrical services installation for Scoil Éanna, Bullaun, involved the full electrical infrastructure for a two-storey primary school. This included LED lighting, emergency systems, and power distribution throughout classrooms, libraries, and external play areas.
At Colin Burke Electrical Ltd., we are committed to delivering safe, sustainable, and innovative electrical solutions for the education sector, ensuring that Ireland’s schools are powered for the future.

Please note that we have employed the services of Colin Burke Electrical on a number of projects to date, to carry out the installation of electrical services, the most recent being our “Finglas Library project”. It was a difficult, fast track project, with the design being developed along the way, with interaction from many parties including that of the Varming Consulting Engineers & DCC. Their approach was organised, structured and professional, bringing invaluable experience and innovation to all stages of the construction project. Their team on the ground were always supported by experienced management that was capable, competent, creative, providing seamless transition from planning to completion. I would have no hesitation in recommending CBE for future electrical installations.
