Dundrum Town Centre, Ireland
Installed - May 2004
Corefast’s high strength and speed of construction were the key reasons why the system was used in the new Dundrum Town Centre shopping complex, near Dublin. Corefast was specified to build the lift core in the stunning cinema complex, enabling the architect’s vision of a scenic lift with elegant, slender walls to be achieved.
Corefast made possible the creation of a stunning, panoramic lift in the foyer of the cinema complex within the vast new Dundrum Town Centre development south of Dublin.
The Corefast system rose to the challenge of the architect’s complex design for an eye-catching, dramatic open fronted lift, which meant that loads had to be carried by only three walls. Corefast’s high strength and rigidity enabled the architect’s vision to be fully realised.
The six-storey core, which was on the critical path, was installed in five working days, enabling the main contractor to substantially reduce the time spent constructing this part of the scheme.
