The Kilmainham Mill complex sits in the heart of Kilmainham, over-looking the River Camac. It consists of early nineteenth to mid twentieth century stone built buildings with an adjacent, infilled mill-race, and is a protected structure. It served as a flour mill throughout the early nineteenth century, prior to conversion for textile production at the turn of the century.
Many of the buildings were unsafe to access due to the structural stability of the roofs and floors. A significant amount of asbestos containing materials were present throughout the buildings.
The unsafe nature of the structure and presence of friable asbestos pipe insulation added a degree of complexity to the works.
We cleaned, retained and protected numerous important industrial artifacts and provided stable, safe access throughout the structures.
