East Wall Road – Multifunctional Development on the Banks of the Tolka River

The East Wall Road project is a prestigious development located in the rapidly growing eastern part of Dublin, along the banks of the Tolka River. The project consists of three buildings – a 15-storey hotel with 183 rooms and two residential blocks offering a variety of one- to three-bedroom apartments. All the buildings are connected by an underground parking garage, providing convenience for both residents and hotel guests.

Advanced Design Technologies and Prefabrication

Our Precast office was responsible for producing detailed assembly and production drawings for the residential blocks. These buildings rely entirely on prefabricated construction, with 200mm thick concrete walls. In areas featuring loggias and balconies, a column-beam system was used to create open spaces and enhance the modern design. The floors were designed with 150mm thick prestressed slabs, reinforced with a 75mm layer of structural screed.

Precision with BIM Technology

During the design phase, we utilized advanced BIM models, allowing for precise planning, effective material coordination, and early detection of potential clashes between structural elements. Thanks to BIM technology, we were able to quickly adapt the design to changes requested by the investor during the project, significantly improving flexibility and efficiency.

Project Scale and Construction Challenges

The residential blocks of the East Wall Road project rise to 7 and 11 storeys, making them prominent structures in this part of the city. The total wall area is 9,262 m², and the slabs cover 10,776 m². A significant volume of concrete was used for the prefabricated elements, underscoring the scale and complexity of this endeavor.
