Completed in 2023, the project is conveniently located near Coolmine train station and the M50 motorway.

The landscaping was enhanced by our Paving business unit supplying nearly 2,000 m² of paving flags and over 2,500 m² of permeable paving.

Carrigtwohill School Campus

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.

Dublin Port Greenway 3

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.
