MOYDERWELL CONVENT
Tralee, Co. Kerry

This project consisted of the restoration and refurbishment of a
derelict convent in Tralee Town Centre and its conversion into a
new sheltered housing facility for the HSE.

The project construction works involved:
• Removal of existing asbestos roof slates and floor tiles by L&M
Keating’s own trained operatives
• Implementation of building monitoring procedures
• Demolition of sections of the building
• Shoring and temporary support of the existing building
• Underpinning of external walls
• Protection of internal historical features and fittings
• Structural upgrading of existing floors and roof
• Re-slating of the roof
• Restoring existing timber windows and doors
• Re-plastering external walls
• Restoration of existing historical fixtures and fittings

The site is situated in a town centre location inside an existing
housing development and adjacent to several schools. Therefore
extensive traffic management and pedestrian management
procedures were put in place.
