Client: Duignan & McCarthy
Project: Tesco - extension, Navan Shopping Centre, Navan, Co. Meath
Value: €8 Million
Stage Completed: October 2002
Design Team:

This multi phased commercial development on Kennedy Road, Navan comprised a multi-storey car park with travelators and associated concourses providing access to the existing shopping mall, the extension of existing retail units to Tesco and other major retail tenants, and the construction of a new office building and associated external works.
The project posed significant difficulties in terms of the interface between building works and the ongoing operation of a major shopping centre over the duration of the construction.
Site conditions determined that piling was required to all foundations and this included mini piling within an existing section of the works. Construction was structural steel frame, precast flooring units and blockwork and brick veneered cavity walls, with finishes matching the existing shopping centre.
The complex construction of the enclosure to the travelators and concourse providing access from all levels of the car park to the existing shopping mall involved a structure suspended over an existing roof and breaking into the existing mall.
The demanding programme was fast track, with phased handovers of different sections and elements of the works required to maximise the benefit to the client in terms of tax incentives and tenancy agreements.
