It hasn’t gone unnoticed that January 2026 delivered 123% of normal rainfall nationally, with Dublin recording its second wettest January since records began in 1941. In Wexford, Johnstown Castle saw 230% of its long-term average, alongside its highest rolling three-month total in 85 years. 

The Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment sat down with Eugene Finn, Managing Director, on how Capcon has responded to this shift by embedding climate considerations into its everyday business operations.

Fifteen years ago, Capcon began with a clear sense of purpose and a name that reflected our roots. The name Capcon itself comes from the townland my brothers and I were raised in, Cappagh, and construction, the industry our family has always been a part of.

Sustainable and Technical Design Engineer Julia Cavanaugh of Capcon Engineering has published an exciting new research paper on the future of rainwater drainage in the face of climate change. The paper, co-authored with Eugene Finn and Professor John Sweeney of Maynooth University, is titled “Designing Resilient Drainage Systems for Intensified Rainfall Due to Climate Change.”

One critically important protective measure against storms is to install and maintain drainage systems that can cope with repeated extreme rainfall. At Capcon, our siphonic drainage systems create a vacuum-like effect that pulls water through the pipes at high velocities.
