Hegarty Demolition was contracted to carry out the demolition of an existing dangerous building located at Balbriggan Harbour. The dilapidated buildings, which included the former Home Nightclub and a pub, closed its doors to the public for the last time several years ago and occupied a prime location on Balbriggan Harbour.
Following the demolition of the buildings the Council, through the Our Balbriggan Regeneration Project, will move ahead with plans to create a lively pier and waterfront area that will open up greater tourism opportunities for the town.
The works included:
- Structural surveys and making safe.
- Soft strip.
- Asbestos removal.
- Careful demolition and preservation of original building materials.
- Archaeological surveys.
- Civil works including tarmacadam and bollards to provide temporary car parking facility.
