Third phase dredging of Dublin’s Grand Canal
Waterways Ireland has confirmed that further dredging of the Dublin inner city section of the Grand Canal got under way recently.
The work follows on from previous dredging contracts completed on the Grand Canal between November 2009 and April 2011 from Grand Canal Basin to Lock C7 at Portobello. The work is necessary to keep the canal navigable for a large range of boats.
In a statement, Waterways Ireland said the work will be executed under contract by L & M Keating Limited and will involve the use of excavating machinery working within the canal property. The work is due to be completed by the end of March 2013. The work will involve the removal of sediment deposits from the central navigation channel of the canals and the clearance of rubbish.
