Dinish Wharf Completion Works Project Update

Posted on | by Aoife | Leave a Comment on Dinish Wharf Completion Works Project Update

We have successfully completed the installation of the new sheet piled western cell as part of the western breakwater. In early 2022, we will extend the land to the cell to form the completed western breakwater. Operations on the quay extension are also ongoing with the placement of precast beams. Dredging of the soft material in the berth pocket and navigation channel continues to progress and in January we will transfer the 170T excavator onto the barge to commence rock breaking in the berth pocket. Well done to all involved to date.

N70 Brackaharagh Project Update

Posted on | by Aoife | Leave a Comment on N70 Brackaharagh Project Update

We have recently commenced a road project in the townland of Brackahargh, Caherdaniel, Co. Kerry for our client Kerry County Council. The project includes the upgrade and widening of a 1.2km section of the N70 National Secondary Road and construction of a new cycle way. The project has many challenges including the removal of a 9m high shear rock face and the excavation and replacement of peat to depths of 4m below existing ground level. Works on site have progressed very well since mobilising in early November and the site team are doing an excellent job in challenging weather conditions. They are shutting down tomorrow for a well-earned break for Christmas.

Works are progressing well in our Waterford Infrastructure Upgrade Project for our client, IDA Ireland. The programme of works is 25% complete with seven roads surfaced to date.

The Sorensen site team has developed an excellent relationship with the businesses in the IDA Business Park. All businesses have been very co-operative with our team, which in turn greatly helps the project achieve the required end result. Well done to all involved.
