Client: Adwood Ltd.
DBFL are providing civil and structural engineering services for this large-scale residential development at Kilcarbery Grange, Clondalkin, Dublin, consisting of 1,034 residential units, a creche, retail and community building, as well as associated site infrastructure works on a c. 28.6ha greenfield site.
Kilcarbery Grange is a joint venture between South Dublin County Council (SDCC) and Adwood Ltd. providing a mix of 3 and 4 bedroom houses, 3 bedroom duplexes and 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartment units.
DBFL developed an overall surface water drainage strategy in consultation with SDCC. Surface water management for the development is designed to comply with the Greater Dublin Strategic Drainage Study (GDSDS) policies and guidelines and the requirements of South Dublin County Council.
DBFL are also carrying out the main civil engineering and infrastructure design including the following elements: Foul and surface water drainage including pumping station; Sustainable Urban Drainage (SuDS) features; Water Supply; Pavement, road, and junction design; Flood Risk.
The delivery of this phased residential development required extensive co-ordination with design team members and public bodies to overcome challenges and successfully assess and minimise risks through innovative design as the project progresses.
Soil stabilisation methods were employed to improve ground conditions for part of the site, as well as under the roads as a capping layer replacement and below house foundation to improve the formation bearing stratum.
Stabilising and improving existing soil with cement reduces the requirement to remove spoil off site by converting the weak soils into a usable construction material.
