There are 2 pits in the canal, the one right beside the north quays bridge is going to be a new lock on the canal. Further up, the canal is being widened to it’s original width..the original canal wall is buried there, and has been exposed from the sheriff st bridge down towards the liffey. The Luas bridge will be in the middle, but the widening of the canal is just restoring it to it’s original width, it will be part of the development. The dam at the sheriff st end is to allow the work to go ahead,obviously.
The concrete is all designed specifically to be “green”.If you look up the company Ecocem, they are involved, It’s carbon neutral concrete and it’s their product.Just for anyone that’s interested.
The main liftshafts are inside those 2 concrete cores that have gone up at the front of the site. The steel frame at the front has started going up too, you can see it between the 2 cores. Also it’s just over 40m to the top of those concrete cores…the high point on the drum is higher than those again, I believe.
