KEELDERRY WINDFARM
ROADS
Keelderry, Peterswell,
Co. Galway.

This project consisted of the construction of 12Km of roadway on
a peat bog covered mountainside. A floating road system was
constructed using geogrid ground reinforcement technology and
all road materials were extracted and processed on site.

Where roads ran through forestry area trees were placed under
the road for added stability. Approximately 125,000 tonnes of
material for road construction was blasted and crushed from on
site quarries.

Particular attention was required to minimise the risk of bog
slippage and environmental impact on this site.
