Bennett Construction the Main Contractor for the extensive refurbishment of Stack A in the Dublin Docklands. The Grade 1 protected structure was completely refurbished in just over 20 months.  

The project involved many challenges including extensive temporary works to support the  150 year old structure, Noise abatement measures to ensure no disruption to adjoining office blocks and hotels, demolition involving clearance of asbestos and intensive logistics and traffic management planning in order to ensure that this tight city centre site rand as efficiently as possible.

These challenges were overcome with minimal fuss or disruption by a very experienced site team which ultimately left a very satisfied client and design team with a world class retail and leisure building. 

The project was awarded the Best Conservation Project 2008 by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.
