John Sisk & Son – CAPITAL DOCK

Irish contractor are currently building a 660,000sq ft mixed-use development at Capital Dock, a prime waterfront site in Dublin’s south docklands.

This is one of the biggest commercial development contracts awarded in the Irish market in recent years, and represents Sisk’s fourth contract with Kennedy Wilson, which set up in Dublin in 2011 and has since spent €1.2 billion acquiring a portfolio of assets here.

The first of three office buildings is scheduled to be delivered at Capital Dock in Late 2017 , followed by 190 high-quality residential apartments in mid-2018.The 4.8-acre site is due to accommodate offices, retail and leisure, and a 23-storey residential tower that overlooks the point where the Liffey meets Grand Canal Dock.

NVM have assisted John Sisk & Son by providing the continuous noise and vibration monitoring support through the setup of a real time website and on line monitoring program. The works included continuous monitoring of adjacent buildings which remained occupied for the duration of the project which included the demolition of the existing structure on the site. NVM continue to ensure the monitoring stations are supported and that the John SISK & son team have access to the live data 24/7.
