Summary
Machine-generated summaryDublin City Council, through its Community, Culture and Local Area Services Department, is procuring an architect-led integrated design team for a pontoon project at Islandbridge on the River Liffey, Dublin, where over 13 rowing clubs operate. The project, which has planning permission and is subject to funding, comprises a floating pontoon anchored to the existing island shore, a new stone and concrete platform linked by a gangway, an access walkway from the weir, temporary removal, refurbishment and reinstatement of an existing steel footbridge, vegetation clearance, pruning, and replanting with 25 new high-quality native Irish trees and shrubs. The aim is safe access for rowers and kayakers between Islandbridge and Ringsend while minimising damage to bankside vegetation.
