Ormonde Construction

Project Bergins

This project entailed the construction of a 50,000 ft2 warehouse on a brownfield site, serving as an extension to the existing facilities of Bergin Haulage at Purcellsinch Business Park in Kilkenny.
Prior to the commencement of construction, it was imperative to redivert the existing mains sewage and gas for the entire estate outside the building footprint. The selected construction method involved the installation of a steel portal frame building, providing a clear height of 11m throughout the structure.

Noteworthy challenges included the severe slope of the construction site, necessitating the construction of 8m high concrete retaining walls to accommodate the topography. Extensive amounts of stone were meticulously installed, levelled, and compacted in layers to meet the required load-bearing capacity for the new concrete floors.

To address stormwater management, a sophisticated stormwater attenuation system was integrated into the existing green area to handle runoff effectively.

The construction scope encompassed the implementation of super flat floors with included hardeners in the concrete mix. Additionally, tasks included the construction of loading bays, dock levelers, and associated external parking and service areas.
