Following a tender process and assessment OPW have appointed Francis Haughey Building Contractor for the proposed repair of ten sections of existing railings at Carlow Courthouse. OPW and the Contractor met with Engineers from Carlow County Council on site in November 2021 to discuss traffic management and the erection of the site hoarding for the repair project.
The Contractor has subsequently issued an application for a hoarding licence to Carlow County Council and issued the Council with details of the Contractor’s traffic / pedestrian management plan for approval. Once the Contractor receives approval from Carlow County Council for the hoarding licence and traffic management plan the Contractor will commence remedial works to the railings on site, with the erection of the site hoarding at Carlow Courthouse.
It is hoped that the Contractor will be able to commence with the erection of site hoarding and site set-up in December 2021 and remove the ten sections of railing in January and February 2022 for transport to the workshop for repair.
