Projects
While we may have started out in concrete 50 years ago, Kilsaran is proud of the way our business has expanded over the years. Below are just a few of the many projects we’ve undertaken in our four core sectors: Concrete, Dry Products, Paving & Walling and Contracting & Road Surfacing.
M7 Motorway
Kilsaran resurfaced 12km of carriageway on the M7 Kildare bypass pavement scheme for Jons Civil Engineering Limited. This was completed using 15,000 tonnes of Hot Rolled Asphalt (HRA) incorporating 15% RAP (recycled asphalt) The use of 15% RAP in the HRA materials results in a reduction of 165 tonnes of CO₂ when compared with standard HRA. The overall project achieved a 21% reduction in carbon emissions.
Grand Canal Harbour
Located next to the Guinness Storehouse and within the historic Guinness Quarter, the Grand Canal Dock redevelopment represents a bold and transformative vision for one of the city’s most iconic and historic areas.
Kilsaran supplied a number of products to the project, from Ready-Mix Concrete, Concrete Blocks, Bulk Aggregates, High Strength Bedding Concrete, Priming Slurry to Rapid Set Jointing Mortar and M4 Masonry Mortar
Urbeo Clonsilla
Urbeo Clonsilla, a residential development in Dublin 15, features 211 A-rated apartments across three blocks, offering studio, 1-bed, and 2-bed units with basement parking. Completed in 2023, the project is conveniently located near Coolmine train station and the M50 motorway.
Carrigtwohill School Campus
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.
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.
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.
Church of Oak Distillery
The Church of Oak Distillery is a landmark restoration and transformation of the historic Ballykelly Mills on the banks of the Grand Canal in Monasterevin, Co. Kildare. This ambitious redevelopment breathes new life into a grain mill dating back to the early 1800s, harmonising heritage preservation with modern construction and sustainable design.
