PUNCH was engaged by the RDS to provide civil, structural and traffic engineering services for the RDS Anglesea Stand Redevelopment.
The proposed development consists of the demolition of the existing 5,743 capacity Anglesea Stand, with the construction of a new 6,775-capacity stand including spectator amenities.
The proposal comprises a new 3-level grandstand with a connected 2-storey hospitality/services building (“The Pocket” building) together with a club shop, ancillary buildings and services.
The new stand has been designed to accommodate a range of activities such as the annual Dublin Horse Show, rugby matches, sporting activities, music concerts and corporate events.
As part of our services, PUNCH carried out a Stage 2 Flood Risk Assessment for the proposed development. Sustainable drainage systems were incorporated into the design, which include rainwater harvesting, a green blue roof, and attenuation systems.
Planning permission for the development was granted in August 2023. The project is currently in early construction stage.
At PUNCH, we understand the value of education. That’s why we support our staff who wish to undertake further education and training. We encourage staff members to maintain their Continuous Professional Development (CPD) accreditations with Engineers Ireland. We also continue to offer training in sustainable design and construction through seminars, in-house lectures, and external training programmes. We promote the achievement of professional titles with institutions such as Engineers Ireland, the Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland, the Institute of Structural Engineers, and the Institute of Civil Engineers.
