Month: October 2022

Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Hildegarde Naughton officially opened the N70 Brackahargh Road Project on Thursday 27th October. Sorensen Contracts Manager, Brian Snow was in attendance on a wild and blustery day on the Ring of Kerry!

The project was a safety initiative by Kerry County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland that consisted of the upgrade and widening of a 1.2km section of the N70 National Secondary Road and construction of a new cycle way.

We’d like to thank our dedicated and experienced Sorensen site team that worked hard to deliver this project throughout some difficult weather conditions earlier this year.

As part our CIF Construction Week safety themes and our Thumbs Up campaign this month, our HSEQ Manager Ronan Walsh visited our Glanmire RIS project in Cork this week.

Our Safety by Example and ZeroRisk messages were well received by all site personnel and the clients team. Well done to all the site personnel on the Glanmire RIS project that have taken part and cooperated with our safety initiatives during Construction Safety Week. #ZeroRisk #CIFSafetyweek22 #Sorensen #safetyculture

 

Continuing our CIF Construction Week safety themes and our Thumbs Up campaign this month, our HSEQ Manager Ronan Walsh visited our N24 Beary’s Cross project in Limerick this week.

Ronan is delivering a Safety by Example and ZeroRisk message to all site personnel. Ronan received excellent feedback from our experienced site team on the project. Well done to all the site personnel on the N24 project that have taken part and cooperated with our safety initiatives during Construction Safety Week. #ZeroRisk #CIFSafetyweek22 #Sorensen #safetyculture

 

It has been a very busy few weeks on the Safety front at Sorensen with our site teams getting to grips with the six themes of Construction Safety Week 2022 which has been rolled out throughout the month of October.

The Themes are:

? Lighthouse Club’s Help Inside a Hart Hat Campaign

? Safe Access & Egress

? Safe Working at Height

? Safe Control of Hazardous Energies

? Safety by Example

? Safe Use of Mobile Equipment

To coincide with Construction Safety Week, a Sorensen ‘Thumbs Up’ campaign is being rolled out across all our projects. Giving the plant operator a thumbs up takes no effort but can have life-saving consequences for those on site. This campaign forms part of our ‘Zero Risk’ Policy, which is a behavioural safety concept designed to change the mindset of all personnel on site to ensure that “everyone goes home safely”.

The Sorensen site teams must be commended for their positive and collaborative approach to the Construction Safety Week across all our projects. Keep up the good work!

 

 

Sorensen has recently commenced works on the Dingle FHC East Basin Passenger Pontoon on behalf of our client, the Department of Agriculture Food and Marine.

The project involves replacing an existing pontoon and gangway system with a new piled system providing greater capacity for berthing and passengers. The piling works have commenced this week with the support of our partners at Quinn Piling and Ocean Crest Marine.

Dingle FHC is an active fisheries, leisure and tourism harbour, and we look forward to delivering this important project for the area.
