Project Walkin Street

This award winning development involved the construction of 27 apartments, a community center, offices, an underground car park, and apartment storage units, with mechanical rooms, resulting in an overall floor area of 3800m2. The development comprised a 4-storey building over a basement car park, incorporating two separate blocks for the apartment block, community centre, and office on a brownfield site in Kilkenny City.
Surrounded by existing residential houses and situated along a busy main road, the site was positioned at a bustling traffic junction with residential developments on the remaining sides. Despite these challenges, construction activities were carried out with minimal disruption to neighbouring areas.

The buildings featured fully accessible amenities, communal gardens, play areas, wheelchair-accessible lifts, and secure entrance doors designed for optimal security. The project entailed the construction of complex curved buildings with roof terraces, balconies, secure access control, an integrated ESB substation, waste storage area, internal courtyard, landscaping, boundary wall treatments, plant rooms, and all associated ancillary site development works.
In-Situ
Construction employed cast in-situ concrete floors and podium deck, an RC concrete frame/steel structural roof, balconies with curved powder-coated handrails, and a mix of precast concrete warm roof and structural steel/insulated Kingspan roof sheeting composite panels with curved natural roof slate.

The detailed civils package included diverting existing drainage and installing Cased Secant Piling with a specialized tanking system due to a high-water table level. Complex works involved connecting to the existing sewage below ground, with manholes installed on the existing busy road in the city centre. As part of the project, existing ESB overhead cables were diverted, routing them underground.
