Project:      Clonmel Inner Relief Road Pavement           Improvememt Scheme

 Client:       Tipperary County Council

Location:   N24, Clonmel

Brief Overview:

 Works along 6km of the N24 Inner Relief Road with up to 22,000 AADT. 

Key Elements:

• Traffic management design and implementation. The works involved constant liaising with the local authorities and a significant presence from Glas on site due to the number of roundabouts in close proximity and the traffic levels.
• Works on all roundabouts took place at night due to the traffic levels during the day.
• While completing the works Glas also had several horse racing meetings (the racecourse is directly on the by-pass) and coursing events also held which resulted in a significant increase in traffic at those times.

• Contractor designed drainage system and installation (750m). the documents outlined a kerb drainage system which was designed by Glas and installed along part of the route.
• Excavation and new drainage work.
• Milling of the existing surfacing for 6 roundabouts and circa 6km of the N24. Milling works varied from 45mm to 215mm depending on the area.
• Excavation and trimming formations.
• Surfacing works including HRA (25000m2), SMA 60 PSV (40,000m2) and 65PSV (18000m2).
• Over 1000m2 of concrete works including footpaths, entrances and crossings at the roundabouts
• Over 300m2 of paved surfaces completed at the roundabouts.
• Road markings and studs over 6km
• Reflective Bollards installed at the roundabouts
• Electrical works completed at the roundabouts.
