Client: Cork County Council
Project: M8 Glanmire to Watergrasshill, Co Cork
The construction of a 10 km stretch of the M8 Dual Carriageway from Glanmire to Watergrasshill was completed in September 2003 at a cost of €108 million. ABM Bridge Systems role in this project was to create a structure that would support the significant levels of fill beneath the M8 Dual Carriageway. Specifically, it required the installation of three precast arch culverts, which would be capable of supporting 18 metres of fill (in the case of the G9 culvert), and 10 metres of fill (in the case of the G10 culvert).
The arches, which carry a stream below the dual carriageway, made provision for a range of environmental infrastructure requirements stipulated by the EPA and the Office of Public Works including the creation of ledge access for small mammals and the construction of bat boxes.
ABM Bridge Systems completed these installations at the rate of one structure every three days – a very tight timeframe by any standards
