Description:
FESP provided project management services for construction of the 4.2km A1 extension to the existing LUAS redline from Tallaght to Citywest.
The works were undertaken for a consortium of private developers. The scope extended to the full civil and structural works which included 4.2km of track including, four road crossings and the construction of 5 new stations. All works were completed to comply with RPA (TII) design standards.
FESP successfully managed the novation of the employers design team to form a design and build arrangement for the delivery of the project.
LUAS Line A1 was the first section of public rail infrastructure which was delivered by the private sector in Ireland. Due to the success of the A1 extension the model was replicated on a number of extensions to the Green Line in South County Dublin. The delivery of the key transport infrastructure by the private sector resulted in poorly serviced lands being unlocked for development and an uplift of development densities on other adjoining lands.
