Greencastle Breakwater

Tender description

Greencastle Harbour is situated on the shore of Lough Foyle on the South Eastern coast of the Inishowen peninsula in Co. Donegal. Greencastle village faces Magilligan Point across the narrow tide-swept entrance to Lough Foyle. The project involves construction of an extension to the existing breakwater which has been partially completed. There will also be the construction of a sea wall and path along the top of the breakwater This proposed curving rock armour breakwater will be located to the South-West of the harbour entrance, and will improve the safe and efficient operation of Greencastle Harbour and minimize impact in the natural tidal flow through the mouth of Lough Foyle. Construction of the rock breakwater to the south of the harbour commenced in 2007 and seen just over half (approximately 155m) of the breakwater constructed. The current proposed project will now see the full 290m breakwater completed. Lot 1: This Is not a call for competition.
