Update on Flood Alleviation & Minor Improvement Schemes
Minor Improvement Schemes
2016 Programme
Clearing and Regrading Works were completed on the Oldcourt Stream in April. The Camac River cleaning was completed in September. The clearing of the Jobstown stream south of the N81 and the Poddle River clearing (Tymon to Kimmage Manor) were completed in October.
The New Road, Surface Water Scheme was completed in February. The Surface Water drainage works on Monastery Road was completed in September. Full road re-surfacing took place on Monastery Road during the schools mid-term break in October.
Design difficulties delayed the completion of the Tay Lane, Rathcoole, Surface Water Drainage Works. The requirements will be reassessed and the necessary design work carried out to enable it to be completed as part of the 2017 programme.
Planned works for Q4 2016 at Chapel Hill, Lucan are under design. Surveying work is complete. The design of these works have proved challenging due to the topography of the location, however it is still anticipated that the scheme will commence in Q2, as part of the 2017 Programme on the Old Lucan Road.

Major Flood Alleviation Schemes
Ballycullen Flood Alleviation Scheme: Clonmel Enterprise Ltd has been appointed contractor for the Ballycullen stream flood alleviation scheme. SDCC have had a meeting with the contractor and works in relation to the programme, traffic management and the procurement of materials are under way. The contractor will be on site in February.
The Poddle Flood Alleviation Scheme: This scheme involves work in SDCC and DCC. It is being led by SDCC with input from DCC and the OPW. The tender to appoint consultants using a framework is being run by Dublin City Council. The tender documentation is now complete and has received approval from the Procurement Section in Dublin City Council, this will go to the market shortly.
The Camac Flood Alleviation Scheme: The Camac CFRAMS did not show a cost beneficial option for the river in its entirety. SDCC are currently reviewing the options and working with the OPW to look at individual flood cell which we hope to progress on an individual basis.
Whitechurch Flood Alleviation Scheme: South Dublin County Council have written to the OPW seeking funding to progress the Whitechurch stream scheme as described in the Dodder CFRAMS. A brief for consultants is currently being drafted.
