Ireland – Construction work for sports facilities – Athletic Union League Football / Soccer Pitches Construction

The MetroLink programme represents a transformative infrastructure investment that necessitates significant land use changes along its alignment. As part of these changes, existing sports facilities, including soccer pitches, will be displaced to accommodate the construction of the new metro system. To mitigate the impact on local communities and maintain continuity of sporting activities, it is essential to deliver high-quality replacement facilities in advance of or in parallel with the main works. The scope of works includes the construction of one full-size all-weather soccer pitch and one full-size natural grass pitch, together with associated infrastructure such as pitch lighting, fencing, drainage systems, a clubhouse, pedestrian access, and ancillary amenities. These facilities must meet governing body standards for safety, durability, and performance, ensuring they are fit for purpose for both recreational and competitive use.
