This Project carried out on behalf of Ardstone Capital consisted of the amalgamation of the two existing retail units at basement and ground floor levels into one retail unit measuring 341sq m; and associated works. Alterations included the following:

• Removal of redundant mechanical and electrical  services and installation of new M&E services.
• Provision of new openings in existing party walls at basement level and ground floor level.
• Preparation of existing basement floor to receive tanking in addition to damp proofing works to basement walls and floor and the provision of a sump and pump for any future water ingress, together with associated new drain pipework cut into existing floor.
• Installation of new fire rated ceilings as well as fire protection to structrural elements.
• Installation of new Steel stairs from basement to ground floor as an alternative means of escape and upgrade of fire escape doors.
• The installation of new “Hayward” street pavement lights and forming enclosing walls to prevent further/limit further water ingress to basement well areas

• New Street pavement lights were measured up and commissioned from Hargreaves Foundry in the UK and fitted by Lissadell tradesmen
• The works took place in a partially live environment as the retail unit on the ground floor was open for business as usual

We ere contracted to provide pyrite remediation works to the perimeter foundations on two elevations of Dublin Bus’s administration building. This involved the removal of the entire curtain wall façade of the 3 storey Administration Building keeping the depot operational in the process. All pyrite material in the wall foundation was removed and replaced with certified clean stone fill (SR21 Annex E).

Initially a temporary timber wall was constructed inside the existing exterior curtain wall for weathering purposes. The exterior curtain wall was then removed to facilitate replacement of the foundation. All wall panels and structural members were cleaned and repaired before being refitted once the foundation works had taken place. Significant repairs to partitions, ceiling and floors were then carried out to restore the building to full use.

• The building remained live throughout the works with minimal displacement of or disruption to staff.

Demolition of existing house and new build of a two storey retail outlet to fit into existing corner site. Restricted site with limited access required extensive piling into sandy base and structural support to neighbouring dwelling.

Due to the sandy soil base extensive mini piling was required to support the new building while vibration monitoring was essential to observe movement in order to ensure the structural integrity of the neighbouring terraced house.

The project required the investigation and upgrade of glazing in two elevations of this large 7 storey office building. Due to the building’s height, access to the works required a specially designed scaffolding fixed through window opes on each floor to a wedged temporary structure inside.

Surrounding stone cladding at each window bay was removed to enable weatherproofing to be checked. New solutions were introduced to prevent water ingress while fire proofing of adjacent steel installations was also undertaken.

A high-pressure water test was carried out on completion to ensure the sealing system was successful.

• Specialist scaffolding fixed through window opes
• Innovative solutions applied to prevent water ingress during the project with high pressure water test to ensure the sealing system was successful
