This spectacular structure was designed by internationally renowned architect, Sir Norman Foster, with structural design by Ove Arup & Partners. The project’s significance was recognised by being awarded the coveted Stirling Prize.

The roof design is based on the geometry of a torus and comprised of 274 precast curved panels weighing 12.5 tons each and a further 650 upper units, generating a roof weight in excess of 6000 tons. Loads from the roof are transferred to the abutment substructure by way of an upper and lower ring beam, which is spanned by 14 steel arms, collectively supporting the roof’s total weight.

Visitors view the exhibits from a first floor walkway that slopes around the roof’s interior, a functional vantage point that capitalises on the unique design.

The South Easterly elevation is made from a 19mm glass curtain wall, which is partly demountable to allow installation and removal of aircraft exhibits.

The innovative design and use of concrete construction facilitated economy and buildability with a structure that demonstrates excellent thermal capacity and acoustic insulation.

The Grand Pier in Weston Super Mare was destroyed by fire in July 2008 and has been rebuilt by John Sisk & Son.

The works included the placement of an innovative composite steel level deck over the pavilion and pier head footprint.

There is also a new covered glazed walkway along the waist of the pier topped with a wave form GRP canopy affording covered access to the new pavilion.

Access to the pier pavilion was restricted by weight limits on the pier waist and so Sisk used cranes mounted on ‘jack up’ barges to place steelworks and other construction materials.

The new part 2 storey, part 3 storey steel framed pavilion superstructure is supported on new tubular piles driven within the existing Edwardian pier structure. The pavilion houses brand new and exciting attractions as well as some old favourites.

The original Guinness Storehouse, a grid structure of overlapping girders rising approximately 38 metres to a glazed roof, is believed to be the first major Chicago-style steel-framed, multi-storey building constructed in Europe. Built in 1904, it remained in commercial use until the late 1980s.

In 1999, we began work on the conversion of this listed building, a task that necessitated the use of highly skilled engineering and construction methods.

The new facilities, which overlook a vast atrium, were created by cutting out floors and revealing girders, thereby conveying a feeling of massive industrial strength.

Some artefacts formerly used during the fermentation stage of the brewing process were incorporated into the new structure: these included a giant copper roasting machine and a pair of enormous 150-year-old American Oak vats.

The six-floor 15,794 m2 development comprises a visitors centre; centralised archive; training and corporate facilities; a retail store, and three bars: one of these (the Gravity Bar on the sixth floor) is an entirely new, steel-framed circular structure offering panoramic views of Dublin city and county.

Located close to Dublin city centre, Croke Park was recently redeveloped into a world class 82,000 seater stadium and bears testimony to a sustained effort by the client, the design team and John Sisk & Son as the main contractor.

Constructed around and within a live arena, the Sisk management team provided a new facility to the highest international standards, while seamlessly accommodating the client’s seasonal cycles.

Developed in four main phases, the stadium was returned to the client for selected weekends in each sporting year to suit the GAA’s games programmes, and each time with increased seating capacity.

The complex now offers corporate hospitality, an interactive museum, lecture and conference facilities and hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games.

John Sisk & Son carried out the design and construction of a six-storey new office building on the site of the former Bristol Steiner Waldorf School. It is the first commercial building built in the Clifton area for 25 years and has achieved BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating for its exceptional environmental credentials.

The project involved the careful demolition of the old school building, located adjacent to a Grade II listed Cathedral. The challenging existing ground conditions necessitated the use of 199 piles and 32rock anchors to the 19th Century Cathedral building situated above the site.

The 31,000 sq ft office building has been constructed with an in-situ concrete frame, with structural steelwork on the top floor. The roof is standing seam and mastic asphalt. The external envelope comprises stonework, brickwork & render, with curtain walling predominantly on the front elevation.

The 34,000 m2 new building was designed to provide state-of-the art accommodation for 3500 people, in a bright open plan environment. The structure utilises solar gain and underfloor heating from the large central atrium to provide some heating, and passive chill beams for thermostatically controlled cooling when required. The end result is a fresh and very quiet environment.

Substantial catering and dining facilities for up to 5000 people are provided on the ground floor. Self-contained private dining facilities on the 5th floor feature panoramic views across Dublin Bay, Bray and the Dublin Mountains.

There are five feature “Jewellery Box” staircases on the outside of the building. These are totally suspended glass box structures that hang from the main internal walls, with suspended stairs. Feature lighting is built into the handrails.

This challenging project involved the construction of three additional floors on top of the existing Blackrock Clinic Hospital Building whilst keeping the hospital operational 24 hours a day. The internalworks comprised a full fit-out incorporating bedrooms (all ensuite) operating theatres, day-care centre, nurse stations and administration areas.

Scope of works also included:• Complicated interface works within the existing hospital building at the basement and ground floor levels along with the existing central atrium area. • Extension of the existing Energy Centre Building, Restaurant and ICU Buildings.

Site enabling works involving the diversion of existing services conducted in parallel to the main structural frame being constructed. All works were carried out within the bounds of a live carpark andhospital building.. In particular there were contingency procedures put in place during all stages of the works so that in the unlikely event that services were disrupted they could be restored immediately.

Whitfield Private Hospital is located on the outskirts of Waterford city on the main Cork Road. It has a floor area of 12,700m² and is located on a 5 acre site. The client decided during construction to add an additional floor over the complete floor plate of the hospital. This was constructed and completed for November 2006. The construction of Whitfield and our involvement in the value engineeringprocess led to major savings in time and cost for the Client.

The specialist fit outs in the clinical areas involved some of the most modern equipment available and were particularly onerous e.g. the linear accelerator bunkers are an insitu structure with walls up to1.5m thick, which necessitated the use of GGBS concrete to prevent cracking. The elevations are a combination of stone and rendered facades.

To support the Belfast production schedule for the new C Series regional jet programme it was necessary to construct a purpose built wing manufacturing facility. The new 600,000 sq ft composite manufacturing and assembly facility is located on Bombardier core lands, integrating the existing building to minimise the new build requirement.

Demolition of some existing buildings and relocation of those products to alternative facilities was necessary to clear and level the site to achieve the appropriate building footprint. The building construction was developed in 3 phases with the Phase 1 Facility (300,000 sq ft) being used for initial build requirements.

The Phase 1 Factory included a Low Contamination Area necessary for the manufacture of the Resin Transfer Infusion components and is used for skin, stringer and spar manufacture. The building will ultimately be used as the manufacturing facility once the complete factory has been constructed and will have all the equipment necessary for the manufacturing process. This facility will accommodate over 500 people when peak production is attained.

This extension interfaced fully over a full elevation with the existing Lab. The Lab was maintained open at all times during the works. The new Office building consists of a four storey building of 4,500 m2.

The office building included the “Street” area which links the new buildings to the older parts of the facility. Other elements of the work included the extension of a carpark, refurbishment of existing office and lab areas within the facility, landscaping and external works.

Safety: There were 450,000 man hours worked on the project and all of these hours were worked accident-free.

This prestigious project involved the refurbishment of 215 bedrooms over nine levels of the South and West wings of the Langham Hotel to create four new styles - Deluxe, Executive, Langham and Junior suites. By stripping these areas down to an empty shell, it was possible to completely reconfigure the bedrooms and create the larger bathrooms sought after by hotel customers. As well as upgrading the rooms, all of the associated services have also been overhauled. This included replacing or upgrading bathroom extraction fans, installing a new air handling unit for the corridor ventilation and adding condensers for the new room air conditioning system - all of which add to the comfort experienced throughout the hotel. The works were carried out whilst the North and East wings were still trading; therefore, a high level of control was required to ensure the business of the hotel was not unduly affected by refurbishment works.

John Sisk & Son has successfully integrated modular bedrooms to complete a 198-bedroom hotel in Glasgow city centre for innovative hotel company citizenM’s first UK location.

The combination of Sisk’s in-depth hotel market knowledge and modular production efficiencies saw the scheme delivered using off-site construction techniques.

The hotel was constructed off piled foundations in the theatre district of Glasgow. A two storey steel frame is supported off pile caps to form a podium slab at second floor level. Six floors of modular bedrooms, linen rooms, lift cores and stairwells were manufactured off site and then installed on top of the podium.

The ends of each of the 198 bedroom modules were fully glazed before delivery. The building is clad in a mixture of stone rainscreen and metal cladding to complement the extensive glazing requirements that are a feature of the citizenM brand.

The modular construction method can deliver many benefits over traditional building methods, including lower project cost, earlier completion time and improved quality and environmental building performance.

Inside the hotel, electronic kiosks offer self service check in/out instead of a reception desk. All rooms are doubles with super sized beds, power rain showers and feature a moodpad, controlling all the functions of the room – from temperature to the colour of the lighting.

Situated on Grand Canal Quay Dublin, the site footprint was only 6m x 19m, yet the client utilised it to the fullest extent to build a 16 storey landmark residential block on the corner of Pierse Street and Barrow Street. All apartments have a spectacular view over the Grand canal to the East and Dublin mountains to the West.

Measuring 2,800m² over basement, the project comprises:• Ground Floor – 2 Retail Units;• Floors 1 to 12 - 2 Apartments on each floor;• Top three floors - 2 Triplex Apartments.

The construction of Alto Vetro was very demanding due to the confined site. Two sides of the site were directly bordered by busy roads while the third side was bordered by the canal. Laydown space was at a premium so all construction activities had to be planned to the final detail to ensure the project was constructed as per programme and in a safe manner.

The work includes load bearing piles to the basement with contiguous piles round the outside of the building. The frame is steel, which is fully fireproofed. The entire envelope is glazed with a stone band at every level. There are 2 balconies on each floor. Floor finishes involve tiling and impact sound attenuation membrane throughout.

This striking residential development, to the rear of RIBA’s offices, comprises a total of 29 luxury apartments. The build added 8 new apartments and 4 new penthouses, with the 6th floor penthouse offering panoramic views of London.

The building is dressed in a bespoke brass rainscreen cladding system, which not only makes it stand out visually, but was installed in its raw milled finish so natural patination occurred removing the need to artificially finish the panels.

The internal fit out comprises state of the art finishes, which combines with the further use of brass and glass to provide external terraces and projecting ‘pod’ structures from the various faced lines adding extra external space. There has been a refurbishment of the existing 17 apartments and a significant redesign and fit out of the core areas, which includes the reception and lifts.

Ground source heat pumps and Green Roofs have been used to achieve an excellent sustainability profile for the development.

The scheme comprises the design and construction of approximately 37km of dual carriageway together with various drainage culverts and drainage systems, four interchanges, side roads, link roads and accommodation roads. The structures comprise 19 overbridges, 12 underbridges, 6 river crossings, 7 accommodation bridges, 1 rail crossing of the Waterford to Limerick line and 34 PCC box culverts.

The earthworks are designed as a balanced cut and fill operation, utilising all the suitable material from major cuttings to form the required embankments throughout the project. The project is a 50:50 joint venture with Roadbridge Ltd.

The civil and marine part of the Greystones Harbour and North Beach PPP project is approaching completion. This part of the project is being delivered by a joint venture between John Sisk & Son and Lagan Construction for the PPP company Sispar which in turn is a joint venture between John Sisk & Son and Park Developments.

The civil & marine package is valued at around €50m and comprises approximately 80,000 m3 of dredging, 200,000 m3 of reclamation, 180,000t of rock armour up to 10t individual weight, 250,000t of rockfill, 54,000t of beach shingle, 115,000 m3 of concrete and 2500 linear metres of driven steel piles.

The project involves most aspects of marine civil engineering including dredging, reclamation, beach nourishment, rock armour, concrete armour, marine piling, underwater stone screeding, extensivediving operations, seawalls, coastal revetments, breakwaters and slipways all of which are designed to function at all states of the tide. The breakwaters are designed for a 1 in 2000 year storm event

The construction process is complicated by the planning requirement to maintain availability of existing harbour facilities to local clubs and the general public throughout the construction period.

The M8 Cullahill to Cashel road improvement scheme is a significant part of the major inter-urban route between Dublin and Cork. The scheme is 40km long and consists of four grade separated junctions linking it to the national road networks and to Cashel, Thurles, Urlingford, Johnstown, and Kilkenny. The road opened seven months ahead of schedule. Protecting the environment and providing mitigation to minimise the effects of the motorway on the surrounding countryside were important considerations in the development of the scheme. Extensive landscaping has been carried out to screen properties from the route and to help blend the scheme into the surrounding landscape.

To minimise the impact of road traffic noise surfacing has been provided throughout and noise bunds and barriers have been erected at certain locations along the route. All the road drainage is attenuated to green field run off levels and the design incorporates measures to protect watercourses and aquifers from pollution. To protect wildlife, badger and otter passes were constructed under the motorway and substantial lengths of badger and otter proof fencing were erected to guide the animals to the underpasses and prevent them from entering the motorway.

An artificial sandmartin nesting site was constructed on the banks of the River Goul to replace an existing site on the opposite side of the motorway. Care was also taken to minimise impact on archaeological sites and monuments. Extensive test excavations were undertaken and this testing led to the subsequent detailed investigation of 46 sites including settlements, burial and industrial remains which ranged in date from the Bronze Age to the 19th century.

our internationalisation efforts have enabled us to use the world class skills and capabilities built up in the Irish and U.K. construction businesses to establish our presence in Poland & the Middle East. With a number of partners we successfully secured three Civil engineering contracts in Poland and a number of projects in UAE, including two hospitals in Abu Dhabi during 2010.

our success and growth have been founded on the application of solid management principles and the employment, motivation and retention of widely experienced and professional employees; they ensure that we continually focus on every aspect of project performance – high quality construction, innovation, integrity and dependability. We recognise how vital our relationships with clients and partners are in helping us deliver our projects successfully.

We place great emphasis on the importance of providing continuous education and training programmes for all Sisk engineers, surveyors, managers and site staff. This practice not only ensures that our people are completely familiar with the most modern, efficient, and environmentally sustainable technologies; it also ensures that they retain the traditional skills that underpin John Sisk & Sons’s reputation, thus guaranteeing that we continue to attract a high level of repeat business. our approach to sustainability and our environmental management system allow our businesses to reduce resource depletion, avoid adverse environmental impacts and bring enhanced products to all the clients and communities we work with.

All our businesses enjoy remarkably high standards of health and safety. We achieve these high standards by ensuring health and safety is an integral part of everyone’s approach to work. In 2010 we have launched the next phase of our safety strategy of “Towards Zero”. our belief that incidents and injuries are avoidable makes us determined to manage the business with a Zero Incidents, Zero Injuries intent. our focus is to deploy best practises globally across all our construction businesses ensuring high quality projects are delivered consistently across all our construction businesses. This is a shared commitment by our management, staff and supply chain and we will do everything in our power to deliver this promise.

Cavan Cathedral

having served a 9 year apprenticeship as a plasterer, John Sisk set up his own business in 1859 - two years before the American Civil War to place it in context. That same year, he married Kate Burke they and went on to have 6 children. one of them,John Valentine, born in 1868, would go on to become an equal partner with his father and become a founder of John Sisk & Son.

records of the early jobs John Sisk took on are incomplete, but the first known contract was to build the Cork Distillery in 1868. In those early days however, many of the building projects were for banks and religious institutions – the sectors who had money. Working mainly in stone and timber, many churches, convents, schools and banks built by John Sisk & Son still stand today. Sisk’s UK arm now has turnover of £250 million with projects spanning from Energy to Civils and hotel to leisure and residential. John Sisk & Son have also recently established business in both Poland and Middle East where construction on our initial projects are well underway.

The business grew steadily in the early 20th century, including much repair and replacement work resulting from the Irish war of independence and civil war. But it was John Gerard Sisk, the third generation of the family, who led the company’s move into Dublin, establishing it at the heart of the nation’s future growth.

Landmark projects, such as the Department of Industry and Commerce (1938), Cavan Cathedral (1942), Wexford Bridge (1956) and Ireland’s tallest building, the Liberty hall (1965) followed. As the economy improved in post war years, John Sisk and Son won contracts in all corners of the country and in an ever-widening range of sectors, as its reputation for quality and reliability strengthened. A joint venture called Ascon was set up to specialise in public works, and although the interest in the joint venture was later sold, civils still represents a significant proportion of John Sisk & Son’s current revenues.

An extended period of inward investment began as manufacturing companies in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics and drinks built production facilities in Ireland.

In 1966, George Sisk, the fourth generation of the Sisk family, became Managing Director of the company to guide it through the next phase of its growth. An example of the company’s pre-eminent position in the Irish construction market was when, reminiscent of its early links with religious institutions, it was honoured to be awarded the contract to erect the Papal Cross for the Pope’s visit in 1979.

Already the clear market leader in Ireland, the firm signalled further growth with the establishment of its UK subsidiary in 1984. With a record of award-winning projects and an enviable reputation for quality and innovation, Sisk’s UK arm now has turnover of £250m with projects spanning hotels to offices and leisure to residential.

3. Protection and Promotion of the natural Environment:

In order to effectively implement this policy we have set objectives for each of these key areas with SMArT targets to ensure the objectives are met. These are managed via the existing management systems including;

ISo 14001:2004 Environmental Management System,ISo 9001:2000 Quality Management SystemohSAS 18001 occupational health and Safety Management System.

The company has set up a strategic working party to drive this policy throughout the business made up of a broad cross section of employees and engages as many staff as possible in local schemes through an annual “Sustainability Week”.

In order to set sustainability goals and achieve them, we have to know whether our efforts are successful or not, and therefore we have developed measurable metrics to track our progress and will issue regular reports on our progress.

John Sisk & Son is fully committed to a Corporate Social responsibility and Sustainability (CSrS) policy for sustainable construction that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The company recognises that sustainable practices not only help the environment but can also improve economic profitability and improve relationships with stakeholder groups.

our policy is developed through four key areas made up of a number of specific sectors:

1. Sustainable Communities. Commitments to occupational health and safety for our workers; providing development through training for a committed, skilled and adaptable workforce; aiding and enhancement of wider communities; ensuring fair and ethical trading through the supply chain.

2. Climate Change and Energy. reduction of our corporate carbon footprint; promotion of renewable energy sources; innovation in our working practices and design considerations to derive solutions to climate change challenges for the future.

reducing and minimising waste in construction through improved design, procurement, and greater re-use and recycling of resources; facilitating conservation of natural resources in new construction and refurbishment projects; playing a proactive role in creating, managing and enhancing wildlife habitats and natural landscapes.

4. Sustainable Consumption and Production: sustainable procurement of goods and services managed through a committed supply chain, assisting our clients to effect products and services which reduce their environmental impacts from the use of energy, resources and hazardous substances. We aim to be involved in the construction of new, long lasting, energy conscious and future-proof (adaptable and flexible) buildings which are easy to maintain, operate and deconstruct.

Sustainability

The John Sisk & Son Zero approach to working is a philosophy that drives our business to achieve Building Excellence.

Is a commitment that must be shared and upheld by all. It is a way of working, thinking, behaving to do the best we possibly to do what it takes to be safe. Work safe. It is a mindset change that requires each and every one of us to confront our own beliefs about the possibility of working safely. Doing what ever it takes to be safe.

Is it really true that whatever we do we’ll never stop accidents? Do you really think that injuring and killing people just to come to work is right? We believe that to make a real change, you have to confront those questions and consider honestly where you stand on the issue. however compassionate you feel about the issue, one thing is certain, if you believe that accidents are inevitable then you have a greater chance of them occurring.

If you feel that injuring and killing people is wrong then your way of addressing issues will be more positive. You’ll be thinking more about what needs to be done to improve rather than accepting the inevitable. The power of Zero is about transforming, changing attitudes and changing behaviour. not a replacement for processes, procedures and measurements but the means through which real change can be achieved.

Is also a commitment, a drive to achieve the highest standards of quality and delivery.The Zero Snags Zero Defects approach builds upon the unswerving determination to excellence that the company has shown throughout its long and illustrious history.

Pioneering new ways of thinking and achieving the highest standards of delivery and quality. raising the bar ever higher for the company and setting new standards for the industry. Zero Defects. Zero Snags is about first understanding and embracing the possibility of Zero then using its power to question how to be better. Snag as we go, doing whatever we can to hand over projects that are defect and snag free at PC

Delays and unexpected surprises are costly and unsettling for client and contractor alike. At John Sisk & Son we believe that there is no need for surprises if we communicate openly, manage effectively and act promptly. We do this by ensuring coordination in our design, procurement and progress reporting; getting and sharing a clear and regular picture of where we are; confronting potential issues early; and with open and honest communication with our clients.

Zero Incidents. Zero Injuries.

Zero Defects. Zero Snags
