| CLIFDEN AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION Clifden, Co. Galway. |
This project consists of the construction of a 600m long concrete runway with associated taxi-way, apron and access road, drainage and fencing. The site is a blanket peat bog over-lying bedrock making construction operations extremely difficult. Part of the runway is constructed on piles and the remainder constructed via a ‘dig & replace’ method. There is a large excavation on the site (both of rock & peat) with all materials remaining on site. The airport is being constructed to service mainly the coastal island of Inisbofin. |
