RINGSEND BASIN QUAY
REPAIR WORKS

Ringsend, Dublin City
Centre
 This project involved the re-facing of approximately 300 lin
metres of masonry quay wall with reinforced concrete and
dredging works.

The site is located in Dublin city centre on the Grand Canal
system.

Concreting was carried out underwater as it was not feasible to
drop the water level in the harbour. Fixings were drilled into the
old masonry wall by divers, and a shutter placed with a porous
face to allow dissipation of excess moisture when concreting
underwater.

All work was carried out from floating plant due to the lack of
access on the quay perimeter.

Dredging work involved dredging ahead of wall construction to
allow the concrete face reach the design depth, and
approximately 4,000m3 of maintenance dredging was also
carried out.

All dredged material was transported to the quay by hopper
barge and stockpiled and allowed dewater before disposal to
landfill.

Upon completion of the works new quay furniture was fitted.
