# 60 Dawson Street

> A multi storey retail and office building at 60 Dawson Street, framed in precast walls on a site boxed in by roads, buildings and the Luas line.

- Sector: [Commercial](https://www.petruf.ie/projects/commercial.md)
- Location: Dawson Street, Dublin
- Completed: 2023
- Client: John Sisk & Son
- Customer: Keegan Precast

Roads on two sides, existing buildings on the third, and the Luas with its overhead lines along the fourth.

Keegan Precast supplied and designed the walls for Sisk, internal and external, each panel tailored to what the site would take. The building is braced: precast shear walls carry the lateral stability, and the reinforced concrete slabs act as a diaphragm delivering horizontal forces into them.

Under live overhead lines there is no room to improvise, so every panel had a delivery slot and a lift sequence, with temporary propping holding the frame until the connections were made. On a site like this, speed is a logistics result before it is a structural one.
