Modern Precast Residential Development in the Heart of Clontarf
BKRN delivered the construction of Prospect Bay Apartments, a high-quality residential development located on Mount Prospect Avenue in Clontarf, Dublin 3. The project comprised 31 modern apartments constructed using a precast structural system within a busy coastal and residential setting directly opposite St Anne’s Park. The works required precise sequencing, early design coordination, and careful logistics management due to demolition constraints, challenging coastal ground conditions, and the technical demands of a fully coordinated precast structure.

The Challenge – Overview
The Prospect Bay Apartments project presented a series of logistical and technical challenges from the outset, requiring careful sequencing, coordination, and control within a constrained residential and coastal environment.
Demolition Constraints
The project commenced with the demolition of two existing houses, one constructed directly against a neighbouring property. This required precise sequencing, temporary supports, and continuous monitoring to protect adjoining structures.
Coastal Ground Conditions
The site’s coastal location introduced challenging ground conditions, requiring tailored excavation and foundation solutions to ensure long-term structural stability and durability beside the sea.
Precast Programme Risk
The precast structural system demanded strict adherence to manufacturing, delivery, and erection milestones, with no tolerance for programme delays.
M&E Coordination Risk
Mechanical and electrical services required early coordination, with all penetrations and service routes designed directly into the precast structure.
Public Interface
Located directly opposite St Anne’s Park, the project required careful management of traffic, deliveries, and public safety within a busy public environment.
The Solution – Overview
BKRN adopted a carefully planned and collaborative approach from the earliest stages to manage risk, protect adjacent properties, and maintain programme certainty throughout the project.
Demolition Strategy
Demolition works were meticulously sequenced, with temporary supports and monitoring systems in place to safeguard neighbouring buildings and ensure safe site progression.
Groundworks & Foundations
Detailed site investigations informed foundation solutions suited to the coastal environment, enabling safe and efficient construction while addressing marine conditions.
Precast Coordination
A detailed construction programme was developed around precast manufacturing, delivery, and erection milestones, with close coordination between BKRN and specialist suppliers.
Early M&E Integration
Early engagement with M&E designers ensured all services were fully coordinated within the precast structure, eliminating on-site modifications and maintaining quality control.
Logistics & Traffic Management
A comprehensive logistics and traffic management plan was implemented to minimise disruption, protect public safety, and maintain smooth operations opposite St Anne’s Park.
