Client: Irish Rail
Project: UB 53 Erry Clara, Co Offaly
As part of Irish Rail’s nationwide programme of upgrading its network of level crossings, ABM Bridge Systems was contracted to carry a series of works improvements at various locations in counties Wicklow, Galway and Offaly. One of the largest construction projects in the overall Irish Rail programme was the UB 53 Erry Clara Underpass: this was designed to provide road access for local residents.
Because it was not possible to close the railway line at Erry Clara for long periods, we had just a short time frame available in which to carry out the installation, an Opti–Cadre precast box structure, and replace the level crossing. From start to finish, this work took just one weekend.
