Carrigrennan wastewater treatment plant

Carrigrennan wastewater treatment plant

P.J Hegarty worked alongside our partner VINCI Construction on the design, build and operation of the Cork wastewater treatment and mud-recycling plant at Carrigrennan, on the Little Island peninsula at the mouth of the Lee River. The plant was the final component in the city’s water-sanitation network and was an important capacity upgrade required to meet the needs of a population of 250,000.

GAS PIPELINE INTO THE WEST

GAS PIPELINE INTO THE WEST

This major civil engineering project to construct the longest gas pipeline in the history of the Irish state was hugely challenging, requiring close partnerships with skilled international contractors and the deployment of almost 2,000 staff. Planning a project of this magnitude was extremely complex—the 350km pipeline crossed seven counties, 450 roads, railway lines, canals and rivers, while cutting through properties of over 1,300 landowners. The diversity of landscape and habitat presented further challenges and sensitive ecological issues which were successfully overcome.

THE ELYSIAN / EGLINTON STREET DEVELOPMENT

THE ELYSIAN / EGLINTON STREET DEVELOPMENT

PJ Hegarty was commissioned to build The Elysian Tower in Cork and when construction was completed in 2008 it was the tallest building in Ireland. The Elysian is a landmark in Irish property development and was a key forerunner of Cork’s future docklands regeneration. Standing 68 metres tall and visible from much of the city, the 18-story tower houses 211 apartments, ranging from one-bed to three-storey ‘triplex’ penthouses. It quite literally brings apartment living in Ireland to new heights.

The Willows, Cork

The Willows, Cork

PJ Hegarty secured the construction contract for one of Cork’s most renowned residential projects — the Willows gated development in Ballinlough. The project involved the construction of 56 high quality apartments, with basement car parking and 12 exclusive houses. The three-storey apartment block contained five different apartment types, ranging from one-beds to three-bed duplex apartments. The project also included associated site development works and a new serviced roadway.

ST LAURENCE TOWN CENTRE, DROGHEDA

This €45-million urban regeneration project in the heart of Drogheda comprises a town centre shopping mall, apartments, offices, a community hall, and a 19th century church restoration. The total size of this mixed development stands at 44,200 m², with the double mall housing 40 retail units over a two--storey basement car park. The design integrated new retail space into the historic walled town to provide residents with a modern shopping experience.

MARKS & SPENCER, DUNDRUM

MARKS & SPENCER, DUNDRUM

This project at Dundrum Town Centre retail park — Ireland’s largest shopping centre — involved the complete fit-out of a developer shell with a floor area measuring 11,500m² over 3 different levels. PJ Hegarty carried out the installation of all services within the retail space, from  level-connecting escalators to the full fit-out of the in-house Cafe Revive. Complete works included all mechanical, IT/data, security, and manual handling fittings, plus merchandising equipment, tills, fitting rooms, refrigeration units, architectural finishes and all other loose and fixed equipment. The only aspect not in our scope was the installation of the merchandise itself, which was the final touch carried out by M&S staff after our handover.
