Dublin Port Company is implementing the Alexandra Basin Redevelopment project, and is conducting a series of Site Investigations (SI) to inform the engineering design process. Monitoring has taken place of the SI works, which began on North Wall Quay Extension, continued on Crossberth Quay, and extended to monitoring marine site investigations within the Approach Channel and associated areas. No archaeologically significant material was recovered during this work but a profile of the buried strata is being constructed across the development area based on the SI observations. Monitoring is an ongoing process throughout the project and will continue in 2017.
