The ambition for the project was to remediate c. 850m of damage in the above-water, intertidal, and underwater zones of the outer revetment of the East Pier.
The East Pier spans approximately 1.6km, and features an inner sea wall, dual pedestrian access levels, an upper wall on the East side of the walkways, and a sloping revetment leading into the waters of Dublin Bay. The pier culminates in a roundhead that includes a lighthouse within a historic Battery complex.
The pier remained accessible to the public throughout the project duration and thus a barge was used for concrete delivery by sea to the remedial locations.
PUNCH provided civil, structural, and marine engineering services, along with PSDP and cost management support for the DLR project. We worked closely with the council engineers throughout the duration of the project.
Our team conducted thorough surveys both above and below water, identified the required remediation, and prepared the necessary tender documents. Additionally, we managed the tendering process for the works.
During the construction phase, we acted as the Employer’s Representative for the project.
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.
