Aviva Stadium
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Structure: Multi-purpose stadium
The Aviva Stadium located in Dublin, Ireland, with a capacity for 51,700 spectators (all seated). It is built on the site of the former Lansdowne Road stadium, which was demolished in 2007, and replacing it as home to its chief tenants: the Irish rugby union team and the Republic of Ireland football team. The decision to redevelop the stadium came after plans for both Stadium Ireland and Eircom Park fell through. Aviva Group Ireland signed a 10-year deal for the naming rights in 2009.
The stadium, located adjacent to Lansdowne Road railway station, officially opened on 14 May 2010. The stadium is Ireland’s first, and only, UEFA Elite Stadium and in 2011, it hosted the Europa League Final. It also hosted the inaugural Nations Cup, as well as the regular home fixtures of the national rugby team and national football team from August 2010 onwards.
Unlike its predecessor, which was solely owned by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU), the current stadium is controlled by the IRFU and the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) through a 50:50 joint venture known as the Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company (LRSDC). The joint venture has a 60-year lease on the stadium;[11] on expiry the stadium will return to
the exclusive ownership of the IRFU.

Location: London, England
Structure: Mixed-use residential/commercial
Project Summary
4 Number concrete frames rising 9 to 11 storeys consisting of 25,000 m² of slabs & 4 nr cores to be completed in 20 weeks.
As part of the regeneration programme within the bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics, the Olympic Village design that will house the athletes was based in reusing the buildings after the games as a new residential district for Stratford.
Project Task
Plot N14 – Completion of 4 number 9 to 11 storey concrete frames. Each block consisting of 600m.sq of slab per level with 1 core per block.
Project Value
£2.0 million (Labour & Formwork only – excludes supply of concrete, Rebar & Crane-age)
Programme
Tender programme – 20 weeks – actual completed programme – 20 weeks
Challenges
Achieving programme with the use of only two tower cranes servicing all trades.
Logistics of materials to and from site for security reasons, all deliveries had to be booked 24 hours in advance
Small footprint of Plot N14 meant that all deliveries had to be ‘just in time’ with no capacity for storage on site.
Working weekends, early mornings and late evenings to achieve programme deadline.
Internal formwork to cores had to be high quality with an exposed to view finish.
Obel Tower
Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland
Structure: Mixed-use residential/commercial
The Obel Tower is a high rise building in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Costing £60 million and measuring 85 metres (279 ft) in height, the tower dominates the Belfast skyline. On completion it overtook the previous tallest building in Ireland, Windsor House (80 m), also in Belfast. The Obel Tower is located on Donegall Quay on the River Lagan beside the Lagan Weir.
The tower contains 233 apartments. The first 182 apartments released in March 2005, priced from £100,000 to £475,000 were reserved off plan within 48 hours.
“For the Obel Tower project in Belfast we used automatic climbers for the CIP core and the Table Lifting System TLS for crane independent lifts of the Doka tables, so we successfully dealt with these key challenges: limited craneage and the one-week cycle for the deck slabs.” – Project manager, Glenform Building Ltd.
Construction work on phase one of the project, the foundations and 2 storey basement car park, began in January 2006. In mid-2007 construction work on the site ceased, and all of the construction equipment was removed; construction then recommenced on 17th June 2008.
