![]() In the space of a year the volume and scale of works is very apparent with activity to the North of the Strategic Development Zone site, the South Plaza and in the River Suir. Piling and foundations for the new Public Transport Hub and rail platforms are also close to completion and the construction of the main building block is underway.įive new access bridges that will provide multi-modal access over the rail corridors providing connectivity between the Ferrybank area, the Greenway corridor, Public Transport Hub, Sustainable Transport Bridge, and the North Quays Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) development are simultaneously under construction.Ĭommenting on the programme of works, Michael Quinn, Director of Services with Waterford City and County Council, said: ‘The North Quays Infrastructure project is advancing on time and on budget. Works have also commenced on the Southern landing point with sheet piling works visible from the South Quays. Meanwhile the steel superstructure for the bridge is being fabricated in Belgium and will be transported to Waterford to be lifted into position once the foundations and piers are complete. The water is then pumped out of the cofferdam to create a dry workspace to facilitate the construction of the pier foundations. The cofferdams are created by driving interlocking piles through the bed of the River Suir to form the watertight enclosures. The piers require the construction of four cofferdams, a watertight enclosure to allow construction work below the waterline. Two of the cofferdams required for the foundations of the Sustainable Transport Bridge are now substantially complete and these works will continue in 2024. That progress is very evident on the ground, with works continuing in all areas of the site and construction cranes dotting the skyline. ![]() In the twelve months since contracts were exchanged works have been progressing well and are scheduled to be complete in 2025.
