Client: Bord na Mona
Project: N5 Scramoge to Cloonmore, Co Roscommon
This project was commissioned by the rail transport division of Bord na Mona. It involved the construction of a bridge over a railway line that was in constant use. One of the key challenges that we faced was how to configure our design in such a way as to minimise the undermining of the track. We completed the installation of this bridge in two days using precast wing walls and an Opti Cadre portal frame.
The new intersection Stupava was opened to public on the first of August 2011. It is the crossing of the old D2 with the new constructed D4.
The rail bridge RB01, which carries the rail line over a local farm road, is in close proximity of the main structure on this section, the bridge across the Maritca river. The bridge RB01 is replacing an old existing bridge at the end of its lifecycle which was confirmed by several borehole drills samples tested in a laboratory.
continueThe road bridge carries over a 2nd class road over a double rail electrified track. The existing bridge structure was a three span bridge of precast pre-stressed beams of the length 30m sitting on in-situ columns.
