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. 

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 a vast number of products from its various business units to the Church of Oak Distillery project in Monasterevin, County Kildare. The products supplied came from Kilsaran’s Concrete Products & Aggregates, KPRO and Paving & Walling divisions.

The Stemple Exchange project is bridging the gap between traditional suburban and urban office design standards.

A landmark six-acre mixed-used campus, Cooper’s Cross is an exciting collection of brand new, fully furnished apartments located at the heart of the Dublin Docklands.

This project consists of the construction of a new port access road from the R132 Dublin Road across the Twenties Road, along to tie in to the Ballymakenny road and upgrading of the adjacent roads.
