HECTOR STREET
APARTMENTS,
Kilrush, Co. Clare.
 This design build project consisted of the refurbishment and
restoration of derelict Mill Buildings and the new build of
adjacent building to incorporate a mixed development comprising
of twenty apartments, three town houses and two retail units on
a unique historic site located in the centre of Kilrush at a busy
traffic junction.

The work was carried out in a residential area. Environmental
controls including noise and dust management were
incorporated during the works. Traffic Management measures
were incorporated during the installation of extensive new
services involving deep excavations and resurfacing of town
centre streets.

The construction sequence included
• The protection and stabilising of existing stone structures
during the demolition of adjacent auxiliary building
• Upgrading the structural integrity of the existing building by
installing a new internal structural skeleton
• Flaunching and stabilisation of chimneys
• Upgrading the fabric integrity of the existing building by
- Rebuilding original stone masonry
- Re-pointing original stone walls

The existing mill buildings received new structural skeleton, new
concrete floors at all levels and were completely re-roofed. The
external facades were cleaned and re-pointed using lime mortar
with new windows incorporated into existing opes. All walls and
ceilings were fully fitted with new mechanical and electrical
services including a new lift.
