everyone went home at the same time ... this in combination with constructionwork on the freeway .. that resulted in a lot of trafficjam today
About a week ago I met Mannix Flynn who was protest against the renewal of BID under the banner “WE ARE NOT DUBLIN TOWN”. As various parties are now exchanging legal letters I will not comment further on this issue. I was a bit surprised that he was not too happy with the LUAS Cross City project. Unlike Mannix I am in favour of the project mainly because I use nothing but Public Transport to get around and I am a big fan of trams and trains.
I do admit that I am really fed up with the ongoing construction work that has greatly impacted my area for many years … my photographs will give you some idea as to what it has been like.
Mannix described the trams as monstrosities [meaning awful rather than big]. Many people may not be aware that the new trams will be extended versions of what are currently being used. The new trams will consist of nine sections rather five making them more like trains and there is a certain amount of logic to this because what is currently being built is a pre-metro.
A pre-metro is a tramway or light railway which includes segments built to rapid transit standards, generally as part of a process of conversion to a metro-standards railway usually by the construction of tunnels in the central city area. The concept of the systematic use of tunnels to carry tram lines under city centres was devised in Germany during the 1960s when, instead of building expensive entire metro systems immediately, the idea of building only the city centre tunnels at first was implemented. They could be used by trams in the short term, but the intention in the long run would still be the conversion to full underground-based rapid transit systems. The idea spread to other European countries in the 1970s, especially Belgium, where such systems were named premetros.[ Also portion of Vienna's U2 subway line (Rathaus-Museumsquartier) is a converted underground tramway line built in 1966.
I am not sure if the final system will actually include tunnels but there will be two sections Brides Glen to Charlemount and Broadstone to Broombridge that already meet light rail standards [these sections use dedicated track separated from any other types of traffic]. I am not 100% sure about the section between Sandyford and Charlemont.
As you can see from my photographs work has resumed on the multi-million Greystones harbour and marina development project, with the first of more than 350 new homes expected to be offered for sale by April 2016. Because of the weather I did not photograph the new houses. The project has already seen the old Victorian era harbour replaced by a new structure with south and north piers, a large marina and ongoing work on five new clubhouses for sea scouts, divers, sailors, rowers and anglers. Also included in the project is a coastguard station, a new town square, a 16-acre public park, a new beach and marine-related shops and leisure facilities. It should be interesting to see if the ‘Public Areas’ are truly public and if the remain so for more than a year or two … I say this because there are many signs indicating that Fishing, Swimming or Jumping was not allowed. I will visit again later in the year, assuming that the weather improves.
There is an interesting gender division of labour in road construction. The men seem to do the skilled work with machinery and the young women seem to do the unskilled manual work. You can see them in the background here.
This set of photos was taken in April 2015 not 2011.
Today here comes a 2012 throwback photo on site in St.Petersburg. This time it was a large-scale redevelopment project for an old industrial area in the middle of a prestigious district of the city. It was very important to work with maximum accurancy because the demolition site was very close to city subway facilities. Nowadays instead of an old building here raised a 21 storey Gazprom tower.

The area around my apartment has been effectively a building site for three or four years and I am really pleased by the fact the majority of projects will be completed by the end of this year.
The major project with the biggest impact on my living environment is the Luas Cross City project but the good news for me is that the working date for opening the new route to passengers is December 9th/10th. Of course I do not know if the service it self will have unexpected negative social impacts but I am hoping that if there are any they will be more than compensated for by the positives. It would appear that property prices are increasing but as I do not wish to move this is not really relevant to me [except for an increase in property tax]
There will be two tram stops on O’Connell Street.
The GPO Stop will be located within the median of O’Connell Street Lower, north of Middle Abbey Street and will be conveniently located to provide interchange with the Luas Red Line at the Abbey Street stop. This is an important description because it contains a bit of information that might surprise some people. The common belief is that the purpose of the Cross-City was to connect the Red Line and the Green Line services but this is not actually true from a service point of view because users will need to interchange between the lines near the GPO

Osdorpplein 05/08/2014 12h55
Much needed raicontruction work in progress on the Osdorpplein, or better, the road around the commercial center of Osdorp. Combino tram 2042 on route 17 is on its way to its terminus Osdorp Dijkgraafplein (formerly just indicated as Osdorp in the time the other terminus Osdorp De Aker operated by tram route 1 didn't excist). Just about 1 kilometer to go.
This tram (2042 made by Siemens and delivered to GVB on 13/09/2003 was first seen in service on tram route 9 at 25/10/2003 (source: www.traminfo.nl ).

Razmax group is a trusted contractor for the large scale demolition projects. Back in 2006 our team used to manage the site preparation for a new #Gazprom stadium in St.Petersburg. The stadium is built instead of the old one and is about to host #FIFAWORLDCUP 2018, our goal was to dismantle an old facilities and constructions for the massive concrete works on a foundation of a new 68000-seat stadium. The main difficulty of this project was the amount of construction waste we used to recycle. Over 200 trucks were engaged in the transportation. The massive reinforced concrete foundations of an old stadium were crushed with #tyrolit hydraulic equipment without water, noise, dust or vibrations.

Twee werkers bevestigen de hijsarm aan de betonnen elementen. Straks kan de kraan het pakket optillen en verplaatsen.
🇬🇧 Two workers secure the lifting arm to the concrete elements. Soon, the crane will be able to lift and move the load.
Een zuiver, te spiegelen, drie scharnierportaal zoals dat o.a. tussen Rotterdam en Dordrecht, alsmede Hoek van Holland, veelvuldig voorkwam. De voorbereidingen voor het verplaatsen van de halte Rotterdam Zuid zijn al in volle gang. De naam 3 scharnierportaal dankt dit portaal omdat er een drietal scharnierpunten in de constructie zitten. In het midden van het portaal alsmede op de betonnen mastvoeten kan het portaal scharnieren. Voor deze oplossing is toen ter tijd gekozen vanwege de slappe bodemgesteldheid en als nu een mastvoet wegzakte scharnierde de rest vanzelf mee.
De werkzaamheden, in het kader van de aanleg van de Willemsspoortunnel, om de halte te verplaatsen naar het westen zijn links in beeld al in volle gang.
A 3 scharnierportaal from its original desing. Because off the weak ground conditions in this part this stucture could turn around a axel in the middel off the portal as wel at the connection between mast and concrete foundation.
The constructionworks for the new temporay station from Rotterdam Zuid are making good progress to the left.
So, I worked for a contracting company for about a year. Here are some shots from the one time I broke out the camera on the job. I really enjoyed learning new things and getting to know these folks.
I am always pleasantly surprised whenever I get a roll of Acros back. I'm at a loss as to why I don't just always have the stuff on me at all times. Love the stuff!

This is what parts of Parnell street looks like today [13 October 2017]
I live in Henrietta Place and the whole area has been a large building site for many years and at times the impact has been extreme mainly because of the Luas Cross-City Tram Project but there have been a number of other projects and programmes including the new museum in Henrietta Street [the building site was directly outside my bedroom] and the Grangegorman College Campus project. I have just discovered that a new hotel is planned for Bolton street and there may be a new apartment block at Henrietta Place.
All around Hana Mursi, Jinka, Key Afer, Mago park, new roads are built. Bodis and Mursi tribes look at those huge engines which takes their lands. It may turn in a tribal war soon...
