A section of the pier at Skerries Harbour will close from Friday to facilitate repair works due to "significant" corrosion.
Fingal County Council confirmed that the decision to close the pier was taken after a survey found large voids in the sheet piles of the quay wall on the outer harbour that was originally constructed in 1968. The report was conducted by Malachy Walsh & Partners (MWP) and an underwater thickness survey by Norfolk Marine Engineering in December 2021.
The decision to close the affected section of the pier is on foot of a recommendation in a report by Malachy Walsh & Partners (MWP), a consultant with extensive Marine Structural experience.
