ADAMS QUAY / KINSALE
SLIPWAY, Kinsale, Co.
Cork


 ADAMS QUAY
Works consisted of the construction of a new quay wall to Adams
Quay using sheet piles and the construction of a new reinforced
concrete deck with associated deck hardware.

The works also included the construction of a concrete hard
standing adjacent to the quay. The works involved construction
below Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT).

Ancillary works included the positioning of mooring T bars, toe
rails and ladders.


KINSALE SLIPWAY
Works consisted of the breaking up and removal of a concrete
slab at the toe of the existing slipway.

Steel sheet pile panels were then driven at the toe of the new
slip which was also extended further than the existing toe
position.

Sand bags were then placed to form a dam so that the water
could be pumped out at low tide Hardcore; steel and concrete
were then placed to form the new slipway.

The works involved construction below Lowest Astronomical Tide
(LAT).
