The housing 2D panelised units will be fabricated, built and arrive fully assembled

Springvale is one of the four projects within the overall Dublin City Council Modular Housing Programme Lots 2 and will contribute to the provision of social housing in the city area. It is located on Chapelizod Road, Dublin 22, an urban, residential area in the outlines of Dublin City.

External envelope finishes will consist of brick outer leaf, aluminium clad window and door system with anodised finish. The site will be landscaped throughout to a very high standard introducing new planting schemes with a very strong mix of different types of plants, trees and hedgerows.

The landscape scheme will consist of a central landscaped open space which will further consist of a play/sport zone, walking track, two partially buried bike stores, water tank rooms and bin stores.

The project plan includes a phasing proposal to facilitate the rapid delivery and erection of the 2-D panelised units with optimal efficiency and the off-site element of construction here will dovetail with this proposal.

The construction programme is due to be complete in June 2021.

JP Morgan, Dublin

As the main contractor on the shell and core buildings, Sisk offered the advantage of an early commencement on the fit out works and saved the client time and money by reducing alterations of the existing shell and core services.

The fit out works required the construction of new offices and meeting rooms with glazed screens, comms rooms and cafes on all eight floors and the installation of the furniture to the open plan offices and meeting rooms. The project also included construction of kitchen, restaurant area and reception on the ground floor. Plant rooms and facility rooms were installed in the double basement. The project achieved LEED Gold accreditation.
