The 0.46-hectare site, nestled between busy main roads in the heart of Arklow town centre, demanded a high degree of pre- planning and extensive collaboration with all stakeholders to ensure safe and considerate construction. Led by one of the company’s most experienced Contracts Managers, the Mannok team worked in partnership with all key stakeholders, including Local Authorities, to precision plan and safely execute all works, including the co- ordination of required road closures and incorporating out-of-hours installation into the challenging Programme of Works to minimise disruption to the public. Timing is critical to the success of any large-scale project, and this Programme of Works, the speed of installation and Mannok’s “just in time” deliveries, closely co-ordinated with the Steel Fabricators, all contributed to the safe and efficient completion of works, on time, on budget, and to the client’s specification.
Mannok designed, manufactured, delivered and installed all precast

Fitting works were professionally and safely completed by the experienced Mannok installation crew in a tight timeframe of five weeks. Mannok’s end-to-end service offering meant a collaborative approach to success was in operation long before a slab was laid or a staircase made, with an extensive value engineering process undertaken at an early stage, which enabled Mannok’s experienced Design Engineers to advise Esmonde on the most cost effective, bespoke design solution. With a total of 80 loads of Precast elements delivered to site and 2 mobile cranes, including a mobile 220t crane, required to complete the fitting, the site’s location and surrounds were important
