🗣️ We were delighted to see Sean Sweeney, MetroLink Director, present at the European Infrastructure Conference in Dublin earlier this month.

💡 November has been a busy month for peer exchanges and knowledge sharing collaboration in TII.   Members from TII Network Asset Management, GIS and IT teams hosted a two-day workshop at TII Offices in Park Gate Street, Dublin with a group of 8 delegates from the Danish Road Directorate. The workshop focused on modernising Asset Management Systems and Solutions across a range of assets including pavement and bridges.   Last Week Gerard O'Dea from our Network Management Team attended a two-day workshop with a Nordic User group hosted by Transpordiamet - Estonian Transport Administration in Tallinn Estonia. The Nordic user group which includes delegates from Estonia, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and now Ireland, meet regularly to discuss various topics relating to Pavement Asset Management. Topics discussed in Tallinn included KPI reporting, defining benefits, maintenance backlog assessment as well as data collection, management and visualisation.   🌉 Delegates were also invited to attend the ‘blowing up of the Kanama Viaduct’. This was a joint exercise carried out by the Estonian Defence Forces and Transpordiamet - Estonian Transport Administration. The demolition makes way for the reconstruction of a new bridge on the Tallinn-Pärnu highway to cater for future load bearing requirements necessary for transporting military equipment and oversized loads.

🚊 Following government approval in October, Transport Infrastructure Ireland has today submitted a Railway Order planning application for Luas Finglas to An Bord Pleanála. 🚉 Luas Finglas is a major public transport project that will extend the existing Luas tram network northwards by almost 4km from Broombridge to the Finglas area, with stops at St Helena’s, Finglas Village, St Margaret’s Road, and Charlestown near the M50. The route will provide interchanges with Broombridge train station which is on the planned DART+ West line, as well as bus services. TII has an excellent track record delivering Luas for Dublin city and passenger demand has exceeded all projections, so this extension will be an excellent addition to the Dublin transport network.    👁️🗨️ You can find out more about the project at www.luasfinglas.ie , watch the Luas Finglas animated fly-through here: https://lnkd.in/dYZPfU6H and the Railway Order drawings and documents can be explored at at www.luasfinglasro.ie. You can make a submission about Luas Finglas application to An Bord Pleanála from 22 November 2024 to 20 January 2025.
