BANDON RETAINING WALL
REHABILITATION WORKS

Bandon, Co. Cork.		 Works consist of repair works to the existing retaining wall which
retains the Cork-Skibereen road N71 and regional road access to
the town centre via R586. The river Bridewell runs alongside the
existing wall and is known to support spawning salmonids
therefore an aquadam system has been installed around the
works area to contain all slit generated by the works and
sedimats installed downstream as a secondary slit catch
mechanism. Works include:

Replacement of sections of the existing wall with precast
concrete wall panels with an in-situ heel and faced both sides
with stone.

Removal of organic matter from stonework and joints, removal
of loose and inadequate masonry joints and restoration of
masonry stonework at required sections of wall to be repaired.

Re-pointing of stone masonry outer face of walls using a natural
hydraulic lime mortar and grouting of the walls using a pumped
natural hydraulic lime grout.

Replacement of existing roadway and installation of 500m of
linear drainage channel.

Installation of 150m of scour protection to river bed level of the
existing wall and underpinning of the existing wall.
