Bank Holiday Weekend Complete โ๏ธ
Another busy Bank Holiday weekend for the Daracore team, delivering critical infrastructure and transport projects while also celebrating success on the race track.
๐ง Job 1 โ Uisce รireann Major Water Main Repairs
Our first project formed part of a major repair programme on the Ballymore Eustace to Saggart water supply line, which delivers over 200 million litres of water every dayโsupplying around one-third of the Greater Dublin area's water.
Three Daracore crews were mobilised:
๐น 1 Core Drilling Crew โ Friday, 11:00pm
๐น 2 Wire Sawing Crews โ Saturday morning
Working within a tightly managed 27-hour shutdown, our teams carried out precision cutting from ground level, removing sections of the pipeline to provide access for the repair works.
The overall operation involved more than 300 personnel, with crews walking up to 300 metres inside the main to reach the repair locations.
Another critical infrastructure project delivered safely, efficiently and on schedule.
๐ Job 2 โ Luas Maintenance Works
Two saws were mobilised for scheduled Luas maintenance works, completing:
โ
730 metres of 40mm ร 40mm expansion joint cutting at Belgard Luas Stop on Saturday.
โ
A further 380 metres at Cookstown Luas Stop on Sunday.
A great effort from the team, giving up their Bank Holiday weekend to keep these essential projects moving.
