Corey Stevens continue to provide environmental monitoring and consultancy services to Bóthar Hibernian, main contractor on the construction of the new 35km high quality dual carriageway connecting Limerick and Nenagh. With the bulk earthworks approaching completion, activity on site and the level of environmental risk are both reducing and attention is now starting to turn to the detailing of finished works and assisting the contractor with the preparation of procedures to provide environmental protection measures during the operational lifetime of the road.
Director of Environmental Services, Shaun Stevens: "Since our appointment last March, our presence on site has provided Bóthar Hibernian with a means of monitoring and controlling environmental discharges, particularly to local watercourses. The unusually wet summer has complicated the overall project and has certainly added to the environmental challenges that we and the contractor have faced."
The project is scheduled for completion early-to-mid 2009 and once open to traffic, the road will significantly reduce travel times between Dublin and the mid-western region.
