Largest ever tank takes green route to Dublin Airport
For the Project’s contract manager, Pat McManus of Balfour Beatty Ireland, who
has already overseen the installation of a 4,500 m³ Tubosider tank in Phase 1,
the development has been very positive. “This is a high output project with tight
schedules for pipeline and activation, so the speed and efficiency with which we
have been working is very important, and we’ve achieved all targets in our
demanding safety guidelines.
“The project also calls for a 6,500 m³ pollution tank at depths of up to 6 metres
and a 900 metre foul sewer at depths of up to 4 metres, all of which must be
connected in to one system. The DAA has been involved in and co-operated fully
on the design and construction solution developed by both the Tubosider and
Balfour Beatty Ireland design teams. The client has also observed the
manufacture of the tanks at the St Helens facility. Everyone is very pleased with
the result.”
