A CONVOY of extra-large concrete pipes departed Condron Concrete’s manufacturing facility in Tullamore last Saturday, marking an important milestone in the delivery of critical infrastructure for the construction of the new Adare Bypass by Sisk Sorensen JV.
The convoy was transporting a series of specially manufactured concrete pipes measuring 2.4 metres in diameter and 2.5 metres in length, among the largest produced at the company’s Offaly facility.
Due to their size and weight, the pipes were transported under controlled convoy conditions as they made their journey from Tullamore to the project site in County Limerick.
The pipes will form part of the underground drainage infrastructure for the Adare Bypass, a major road development designed to improve traffic flow around the historic village of Adare and enhance connectivity along one of the country’s key transport corridors.
Condron Concrete has been manufacturing concrete pipes and drainage solutions for major infrastructure projects across Ireland for more than five decades.
The scale of the delivery highlights both the engineering capability of the Tullamore facility and the vital role Irish manufacturing continues to play in supporting national infrastructure projects.
John Condron, Managing Director of Condron Concrete, said: “Producing pipes of this size requires significant engineering expertise and manufacturing precision. We are proud that products manufactured here in Tullamore will form part of the infrastructure supporting a major national road project like the Adare Bypass. It is a great example of Irish manufacturing supporting Irish infrastructure.”
The Adare bypass project is part of ongoing investment in Ireland’s transport network and will provide improved safety, reduced congestion and more reliable journey times for road users in the region.
