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.

70 St Stephen's Green

The project is situated between two office blocks and fronts onto St Stephens Green South on the north and onto a laneway owned by the OPW on the south. Due to the location of the site there was a suite of environmental monitoring systems in place on and around neighbouring buildings together with scheduled weekly meetings with adjacent building occupiers and public bodies.

The building takes up the full footprint of the site resulting in a bespoke office accommodation solution on St Stephen's Green South and a detailed logistics plan drafted for the site to minimise impact on the adjacent buildings and utilise the limited amount of space on the site.

To construct the double basement a significant temporary works scheme was designed which involves propping neighbouring buildings to the east and west and footpaths/roads to the north and south. The proximity of neighbouring buildings and the limited storage space has also resulted in precast walls and post tensioned slabs being utilised from ground floor upwards.

The project is LEED platinum and WELL gold along with NZEB certified.

This PPP scheme consisted of the design, build, finance, operation and maintenance of approximately 10km of dual carriageway incorporating 675m of an immersed tube tunnel under the River Shannon.

The scheme extends from a new interchange at the end of the Phase 1 Limerick southern Relief Road to the N18 Ennis Road and includes 4 no. major grade-separated interchanges. Construction of the scheme commenced in August 2006 and was complete in 2010.

The scheme comprises 10km of hard tolled dual carriageway and a 2.3km single lane carriageway together with associated interchanges and local road alignments and as well as the immersed tube tunnel under the River Shannon, including 43 other major structures and a 750m causeway across Bunlicky Lake. The main toll plaza is on the mainline with a satellite toll plaza on the single lane carriageway line at Clonmacken.

Sisk were contracted to DirectRoute to construct the major structures including the main and ancillary toll plazas, overbridges, underbridges and farm underpasses.

Sisk also provided a considerable amount resource to the Construction Joint Venture in respect of the core management team utilising the particular skills this staff have in marine engineering of this type.

The Reflector is a landmark office and residential development prominently situated in Dublin’s thriving Grand Canal Docks. With impressive water frontage spanning almost 75 meters of Hanover Quay. The Reflector Building has a distinctive and memorable profile of bronze mesh panels and reclaimed bricks, which contrasts and compliments the sleek glass facade. The use of luxurious finishes is carried into the ultra-modern building.

The Reflector is a six storey over basement office building, extending to an area of over 123,000ft². Typical floor plates of 23,000ft² are finished to the highest standards, featuring LEED Gold V4 accreditation and A3 BER certification. The development also incorporates forty exclusive 1-3 bedroom luxury A3 BER certification apartments and a single 3,500ft² retail/restaurant unit.

The integration of the Reflector with the existing dock-front buildings creates dynamic relationships between old and new within the waterfront context. The Reflector offers space, natural light and great views, making it an exceptional working environment.

The building has been designed with a layout that provides dynamic, contemporary and flexible buildings which enhance the existing waterfront environment. The unique exterior mesh design element provides solar shading without impacting the views. This cascading feature is framed within a high quality stone-clad structure which is elevated above the street level to create a setback ground plane which provides a relief and continuity for the adjoining low level buildings.
