RIVER BANDON
WATERMAIN CROSSING,
Bandon, Co. Cork.

L&M Keating were contracted to install a 300mm HDPE
watermain under the Bandon Estuary as part of the Inishannon
Regional Water Supply Scheme during Summer 2009. The
estuary is 270m wide at this point including approximately 150m
of mud slobs that uncover at low tide. The estuary is an
established navigation channel, as well as an environmentally
sensitive area.

A method was devised to sleeve the HDPE pipe in precast
concrete pipes which acted as protection and ballast. The pipe
was laid in a cut and cover excavation through the estuary bed,
and was completed within a two week timescale.
