This prestigious project was located on Dinish Island, Castletownbere, Co. Cork. Our valued client, the the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, set out to double the workable quay space within their busy Dinish Harbour. The project resulted in an additional 2.2acres of highly usable reclaimed quay storage areas, 215m of new quay wall, two new major breakwaters at the entrance to the harbour providing much needed shelter, dredging to the navigation channel, the new berth, inner basin and the synchro-lift making the boat yard more accessible for larger vessels. A shallow inner basin was also constructed for a small craft harbour to the benefit of small fishing vessels and leisure craft.

The Sorensen site team overcame many challenges on this project, not least of all the construction of the breakwater sheet piled cells during a challenging winter period. The marine team worked diligently under the supervision of our vastly experienced Directors, Louis Keating and David Sorensen, to constantly appraise and adjust the temporary works design to ensure that the cell construction was delivered safely.

We are delighted to see that Dinish Harbour is thriving since the Sorensen Marine Team handed over the Dinish Wharf Extension Project in 2022.
