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.

Dublin Port Greenway

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.
