QUESTION NO.17
QUESTION: Councillor R. McMahon
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the Edmondstown Road closure. Is there a plan in place to make the road safe and is there a timeline as to when the road will be re-opened to allow through traffic?"
REPLY:
"On Friday 27th January, SDCC and its Geotechnical Engineers, Roughan O’ Donovan (ROD) met with a representative for Mr Mallak and his Geotechnical Engineer.
The Geotechnical Engineer presented a solution that entailed soil nailing the slope over a distance of 78m approx.
This was agreed in principle by ROD and Geotechnical Engineer is to forward on the calculations to ROD and they will carry out a Category 3 check.
The existing material that was taken from the face and deposited on site will have to be removed to allow access for contractors equipment.
The setup will be awkward as access is constrained and there will be very confined working areas.
It is envisaged that it will be an agreed contract with a soils contractor (not open tendering). Programme will be dependent on availability of contractor.
Draft Programme.
- Design agreed 1st Week of Feb.
- Contractor engaged and on site Early March
- Contract length 3 months.
Programme is subject to change."
