Description

The 2 Chimney Way Project is characterized by a concrete frame structure situated in close proximity to sensitive neighbors. A comprehensive site investigation was meticulously scoped, leading to the efficient use of shallow pad foundations. The project demanded careful detailing to ensure that any interface with the boundary wall would not adversely impact neighboring properties. Integrating Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) measures onto the tight site posed a challenge, while maintaining connections with the public network. The front of the site falls under the classification of "taken in charge," and this aspect was meticulously detailed in accordance with specific specifications for public-side works outlined by Irish Water. Our close collaboration with the main contractor, BKRN, extended to the completion of temporary works on the scheme, ensuring efficiency and seamless integration with permanent works where possible.

Efficient Shallow Pad Foundations

A detailed site investigation led to the implementation of highly efficient shallow pad foundations, optimizing the structural support while minimizing excavation.

Neighbor-Friendly Design

Careful detailing was undertaken to ensure that any interface with the boundary wall had no negative impact on neighboring properties.
This approach reflects a commitment to minimizing disruptions to the surrounding community.

Challenges in SUDS Integration

Integrating Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) measures onto the compact site presented challenges.
The engineering solutions were carefully designed to manage surface water effectively while navigating the constraints of the tight space.

Compliance with "Taken in Charge" Regulations

The front of the site falls under the classification of "taken in charge," requiring specific adherence to Irish Water's specifications for public-side works.
Detailed compliance ensures the seamless integration of the project with public infrastructure.

Collaboration with BKRN

Close collaboration with the main contractor, BKRN, extended to the completion of temporary works on the scheme.
This collaborative effort aimed at ensuring efficiency and integration of temporary and permanent works.

Conclusion

The 2 Chimney Way Project showcases our ability to navigate complex challenges inherent in close-quarter construction. From efficient foundation design to neighbor-friendly detailing and compliance with regulatory specifications, the project reflects our commitment to engineering excellence and harmonious integration with the local environment. Close collaboration with BKRN underscores our dedication to a seamless construction process, from temporary works to the finalization of the permanent structure.
