Station Building 2, Dublin

Station Building 2 involved the refurbishment and restoration of part of the former Harcourt Street train station and more recently the POD Nightclub. It is a significant landmark in Dublin city centre with renowned historical importance. The project therefore created a unique office and retail works space rarely experienced in the current marketplace.

This project comprised full external restoration of all external envelope, creation of new double height entrance foyer and reception, construction of new mezzanine floor area, ancillary storage and plant areas and the creation of a new public realm plaza to the Luas stop on Harcourt Street. The existing vault foundations below platform level were also restored to create retail and restaurant space in three large units and one smaller café style unit.

Shanganagh Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Shanganagh Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) was completed as part of the Shanganagh Bray Main Drainage Scheme. The Project required the design and construction of a WWTW at the site of the existing works and the refurbishment of the Bray Pumping Station.

This project also includes the operation and maintenance of the existing and newly constructed Shanganagh WWTW, Bray Pumping Station and Bray Stormwater Storage Tank until 2032.

The plant is considered an essential service and operates on a 24 hour basis. The plant provides pre-treatment, full secondary treatment and drying of sludge while delivering energy recovery through biogas generated as part of the treatment process.

Johnson & Johnson

Since our relationship with Johnson & Johnson began in 1994, Sisk has been a Construction Management Services delivery partner where we have worked in the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnical, Medical device and Consumer sectors to the World’s largest Healthcare company.

We have been involved in a number of campuses from their establishment, including Visioncare in Limerick, Janssen Biologics and DePuy Synthes Medical Devices, both in Cork. In addition we have worked on other existing facilities delivering a variety of projects in Ireland and expanding to the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Israel.

Our Services to Johnson & Johnson include budgeting, pre-construction expertise, equipment procurement, construction management, commissioning and qualification. Projects range from small up to the flagship €300m Janssen Biologics 2 Project, where construction was completed in 2019 and Sisk are currently managing the Commissioning and Qualification of the facility.

Sustaining our partnership with Johnson & Johnson is dependent on Sisk meeting our client’s expectations and fulfilling our commitments. Safety is always first and we are all very proud that both the Janssen Campus in Cork and the Visioncare Campus in Limerick each have well in excess of three million man-hours without a lost time accident, whilst the DePuy Synthes Campus has over 1.5 million man-hours without a lost time accident.

Achieving right-first-time Quality and meeting programme commitments are key in all projects. This applies in particular to the Life Sciences sector where Johnson & Johnson look to Sisk to deliver the highest standards to ensure global supply commitments can be achieved to life changing products and treatments. All of the above must be reinforced with best value delivery and an innovative approach, areas where Sisk’s performance is also constantly assessed.

To have a relationship where we have delivered almost €1.2 billion in projects over a 25 year period is a testament to trust, good communication and performance. We very much look forward to being a key delivery partner for Johnson & Johnson into the future.
