MN_306 Mater Stop D-wall & associated works. RPA intends to award a contract for, among other things, the detailed design and construction of the diaphram walls of the Stop Box at the Mater Hospital as detailed below: This will include but not limited to the following: — Detailed design and construction of guide walls & diaphragm walls circa 400-500 linear meters long and to an average depth of circa 30m in a sensitive urban environment (sensitivities include airborne noise, vibration and associated groundborne noise, ground movement, dust and electromagnetic interference) due to their proximity to an operational hospital, — Demolition of existing structures (398 & 400 Nth Circular road), — Utility diversions including electrial, telecoms, gas, drainage, — Installation and operation of monitoring instrumentation, including reporting to demonstrate the works are being carried out in accordance with the Specification, Metro North EIS and the enforceable Metro North Railway Order, — Diaphragm wall shear pins and toe grouting, — Potential for the need to provide temporary access bridging. Metro North will be a combined underground and surface light rail service, segregated from traffic using tunnel, road median and green-field construction environments and will connect the Fingal County town of Swords and the townland of Belinstown to Dublin City Centre. The Metro North alignment will run along a proposed 18km corridor, from Lissenhall in North County Dublin, through Dublin Airport, to the City Centre at St. Stephen’s Green. It will have stops at Lissenhall, Seatown, Swords, Fosterstown, Dublin Airport, Dardistown, Santry Demesne (Northwood), Ballymun, Dublin City University, Griffith Avenue, Drumcondra, Mater Hospital, Parnell Square, O’ Connell Bridge and St. Stephen’s Green. Metro North is a key element in the creation of a fully integrated rail based public transport network as envisaged in Transport 21. It will interchange with existing Luas services, DART and suburban rail services at St. Stephen’s Green via the proposed rail interconnector and with suburban and mainline rail services at Drumcondra. It will also provide Park & Ride facilities at key locations along the route so Metro North will benefit people from far beyond its immediate catchment area. The main works for Metro North is currently being procured under a separate tender process and will be delivered through a Public Private Partnership (PPP). Prior to the commencement of the main works and subject to the granting of an enforceable Railway Order by An Bord Pleanála, RPA intends to carry out enabling works. One of the Metro North underground stations will be located at the Mater Hospital. Due to the timing of the hospital’s planned development of a New Adult and Children’s Hospital, the Mater Stop Box diaphram walls for Metro North must be completed as part of the project Enabling Works. Additional information and the conditons for participation are contained in the pre-qualification questionnaire. (PQQ) which can be downloaded from the e-tenders website. The link is given below.
