Project completed on Blackglen Road, Co. Dublin, where Kilsaran supplied and laid full carriageway asphalt road and cycle track. The surface course was SMA10 PMB and Binder and Base were AC20 and AC32 respectively. The asphalt was produced using both RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) and Thermaphalt (warm mix) resulting in a reduction in CO2 emissions and conservation of aggregate.

Kilsaran resurfaced 12km of carriageway on the M7 Kildare bypass pavement scheme for Jons Civil Engineering Limited. 

Completed using 15,000 tonnes of Hot Rolled Asphalt (HRA) and incorporating 15% RAP (recycled asphalt). The project used fine grade in all the HRA material apart from a 5000m area which received an incorporation of 35% RAP using the coarse grade, and a 5000m area with the standard HRA mix to act as a control. 

Overall, the use of the 15% RAP in the HRA material resulted in a 6.4% reduction in Carbon (4.9kg CO /Tonne) when compared with the Standard HRA. The use of 35% RAP in the HRA resulted in a 12% reduction in the Carbon (9.1kgCo2/Tonne) when compared with the Standard HRA. 

In all, this project achieved a 21% reduction in carbon emissions. 

Located next to the Guinness Storehouse and within the historic Guinness Quarter, the Grand Canal Dock redevelopment represents a bold and transformative vision for one of the city’s most iconic and historic areas.

Kilsaran supplied a number of products to the project, from Ready-Mix Concrete, Concrete Blocks, Bulk Aggregates, High Strength Bedding Concrete, Priming Slurry to Rapid Set Jointing Mortar and M4 Masonry Mortar.

Urbeo Clonsilla, a residential development in Dublin 15, features 211 A-rated apartments across three blocks, offering studio, 1-bed, and 2-bed units with basement parking. Completed in 2023, the project is conveniently located near Coolmine train station and the M50 motorway. Kilsaran Precast designed, manufactured, and installed the structural frame, including various precast elements. Our concrete business unit supplied 8,414 m³ of Ready-Mix Concrete and over 50,000 concrete blocks. Our KPRO team provided a range of products such as renders, mortars, grouts, and external wall insulation. The landscaping was enhanced by our Paving business unit supplying nearly 2,000 m² of paving flags and over 2,500 m² of permeable paving.

Carrigtwohill Schools Campus represents one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by the Department of Education. It’s one of the largest single-project investments in educational infrastructure, accommodating over 2,000 primary and post-primary students.

Our Precast business unit was awarded the contract to design, manufacture, deliver and install load-bearing and self-supporting walls, partition walls, floors and stairs for all three buildings. Our Concrete Products and Aggregates business unit supplied all the ready-mix concrete, concrete blocks and aggregates to this project. While our KPRO and Paving business units also supplied products throughout this project.

With its design focused on adaptability and spaciousness, the campus emphasises large, naturally lit open spaces for diverse educational and recreational needs. Carrigtwohill Schools Campus exemplifies the all-round qualities of concrete and its relevance in promoting faster construction, resilience and sustainable growth within the Irish construction sector.

Kilsaran supplied Ready Mix concrete from its Concrete Products & Aggregates business unit to the Dublin Port Greenway project along the northern perimeter of the Port overlooking the Tolka Estuary. The concrete for the greenway was supplied by our South Bank Road plant, located just 10-15 minutes from site. This proximity reduced transportation emissions and ensured the consistency and quality of the concrete delivered to the greenway. 

Tight control of aggregate grading, particle shape, moisture content and cleanliness enhanced the appearance of the concrete finish. Consistent control of input materials, above what is required for conventional ready-mixed concrete, was vital to the achievement of a high-grade concrete appearance. The final result is a strikingly textured finish that elevates the design of the greenway, demonstrating the potential of concrete to combine both durability and functionality with aesthetic appeal.
