South Campshire Flood Protection Project - Flood Gates

Tender description

The works involve the supply, delivery and installation of new flood gates for a new flood protection system along the River Liffey. The works are located in Dublin City along the Southern Campshires of the River Liffey between Butt Bridge and Sir John Rogerson’s Quay. The proposed development consists of a new flood protection system, approximately 1.0km in length located on the Southern Campshires of the River Liffey. The flood protection will extend from Butt Bridge to Samuel Beckett Bridge and beyond and returns across Sir John Rogerson’s Quay just east of the new pedestrian crossing at Cardiff Lane. The scheme will provide flood protection from extreme high tides to a level of 3.7m above Malin Head datum. The protection will, for the most part, consist of a new flood wall which will be approximately 900 to 1200mm high, and have a number of openings to allow access to the Campshires, pedestrian bridges and walkways. These openings will have flood gates fitted that take two forms, namely a “lift-hinged flood gate” and a “fold out flood gate”. This project is for the supply, delivery and installation of these two types of Flood Gates. The contract has been awarded to BDBC Ballyglasheen Ltd. & IBS Engineering Products Ltd.
