We were appointed by the Office of Public Works as the Civil and Structural Consulting Engineers to Phase 2 of the refurbishment and extension of the existing Garda Station in Dundrum in 2012. The objective of this project was to provide suitable modern facilities for the operation and administration of An Garda Síochána in Dundrum Garda Station.

RETRACTABLE UMBRELLAS, TEMPLE BAR

Architect: Sean Harrington Architects

This unique project involved the installation of four fully retractable umbrellas into Meeting House Square in Temple Bar. This innovative design by Sean Harrington Architects comprises four 21-metre high structural steel structures, which supports an asymmetric umbrella, measuring approximately 11-metres by 14-metres. The umbrellas were designed and manufactured by MDT-Tex in Germany specifically for Meeting House Square and provide the Square with the maximum amount of protection from the rain. Fearon O’Neill Rooney were responsible for the underground Civil Engineering Works for the project including the design of the piled foundations for the four umbrellas.
