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.
