Bandon Flood Relief Scheme

Project Overview

This scheme involved the deepening of the existing riverbed by approximately 1.8 metres and dredging for 3.6 kilometres together with Morphological River Restoration works and construction of new reinforced concrete fish pass structures at Bandon Weir, Bridewell River and Mill River.

Bridge structural works included the demolition of existing pedestrian bridge and construction of new 3-span pedestrian bridge. Other works included the underpinning/mini pilling of Bandon Bridge which required extensive archaeological works and temporary protection.

Works also included the demolition and reconstruction of existing stone walls along the banks of the River Bandon, construction of new stone faced and reinforced concrete walls/sheet pile walls along the banks of the River Bandon. Further works included the construction of new RC culverts, local drainage works in and about the town of Bandon together with extensive brick paving and landscaping. Works were carried out throughout the town of Bandon and extensive Traffic Management and Environmental Mitigation works were required for this contract.
