The Project

This scheme, carried out under TII’s High Speed Road Pavement Renewals Framework, involved the removal and replacement of almost 185,000 square metres of surface course on a 7.3km stretch of the M50 between Junction 14 at Leopardstown and Junction 17 at Shankill where the M50 and M11 merge.

The Product

This involved laying approximately 18,000 tonnes of Stone Mastic Asphalt surface course in accordance with the TII Specification for Road Works.

In order to achieve the most durable surface possible, Kilsaran Roadsurfacing and Contracting and our client – Jons Civil Engineering Ltd., in conjunction with the client decided that it was desirable to lay the surface course in echelon.

The Process

Echelon involves laying the material in one pass across the full width of the motorway carriageway.

In this instance it entailed laying with three of our Vogele paving machines side by side. This eliminates the need for cold longitudinal joints which is the most common location of pavement failure. No joints means no path through which water can pass, eliminating a possible weak spot from the start.

As the M50 is Ireland’s busiest roads with traffic volumes in excess of 100,000 vehicles per day, the project was carried out during night time possessions of the motorway between 10pm and 6 am. In excess of 1km of motorway carriageway was laid in each night shift.

To achieve this our site team of 30 people took delivery of the material from a transport fleet of 30 trucks from two asphalt plants to ensure that paving could run continuously for the entire shift.

The Kilsaran Road Surfacing Team is working with Balfour Beatty Ireland, reconstructing and improving taxilanes and aircraft stands as part of the DAA’s program of airport campus enhancement, which will facilitate the growth in passenger numbers that Dublin Airport is currently experiencing.
Our road surfacing team constructed these areas consisting of the placement of the stone subbase, and a pavement consisting of 220mm of bituminous material on 300mm of Cement Bound Granular Material (CBGM).
The photographs show the Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) surface course being placed in echelon which ensures that all longitudinal joints in the surface course are hot, enhancing the durability of the final surface. This phase of the works involved placing 6500 sq. m of surface course in one shift.

Kilsaran are also supplied Lean Mix Concrete and PQ Concrete to this project in the Airport.

Kilsaran Roadsurfacing and Contracting are proud to have undertaken the significant infrastructure development work on the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) recently.

The main contractor on the Cherrywood Infrastructure Project is a joint venture between John Craddock Ltd and Jons Civil Engineering Ltd working for Hines, the Houston based owner,
developer and asset manager of the SDZ. Development of roads,
cycle ways, carparks and recreational areas in this SDZ necessitated the production and installation of over 40,000 tonnes of asphalt. All pavements have been completed to surface course level. This development is unique in that the Local
Authority required completed infrastructure to be in place
prior to the development of any building work, which is due to commence shortly on this 390-acre masterplanned development site.
