The Sustainable Water Network (SWAN)

Iarnród Éireann is seeking to engage a suitably qualified and experienced consultant and laboratory to undertake soil sampling of materials generated as part of railway maintenance activities. On an on-going basis, Iarnród Éireann undertakes lineside maintenance activities to ensure the profile and track quality is maintained within thresholds. This results in the excavation of life expired ballast and soil. This material is hauled from trackside and temporarily stockpiled at various compounds and depots situated alongside the track across the railway network (i.e. nationwide). The temporary stockpiling is to allow for waste classification and to inform on the material recovery/recycling/disposal options.

Monitoring (environmental, water, dust, geotechnical and geoheritage) of two historic mine sites.

The assessments are required to inform the design and implementation of biodiversity enhancement and conservation management measures at Whites Marsh including but not limited to the creation of wetland habitat and natural water features such as ponds, water bodies, scrapes and the installation of visitor infrastructure such as a nature trail and bird hide (s) at Island Strand Intake (Whites Marsh), Inchydoney, Clonakilty Co. Cork. The focus of the civil design and visitor infrastructure will be on a nature friendly and ecologically sensitive design using responsibly sourced, sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Avoidance of adverse impacts to the flora and fauna of the area is a key objective which will inform the civil design of the project.
