Dublin shopping centre expands with steel

The Frascati Shopping Centre in Blackrock, south Dublin, is undergoing a major redevelopment which includes the construction of new retail extensions.

Because the shopping centre will remain open during the construction programme, the works have been scheduled into four phases.

Working on behalf of main contractor Collen Construction, Steel & Roofing Systems has completed the initial two stages that comprise 500t of structural steelwork and 7,000m² of metal decking.

A further 350t of steel is now being erected for the last two phases. The project is due to complete in early 2019.
