Bord Gais Eireann headquarters completed

Rohcon successfully completed the construction of the new headquarters for Bord Gais Eireann in Cork. The building was recently formally opened by the Taoiseach [head of government] Bertie Ahern.

This is one of the largest office block developments in the city in the past three decades; the overall value of the project was €12 million and the contract was carried out in 16 months. The development is located on an old Gas Works site. Prior to commencement of the building contract Ascon carried out the remediation contract of the site, which involved removing all contaminated materials.
