Cork City Council - Daly's Bridge

The focus of the project was the refurbishment of a historical suspension bridge that sits between Sunday’s
Well and The Mardyke in Cork City. As part of the refurbishment, hard and soft landscaping works were planned, as well as the addition of a new public lighting installation. The refurbishment and conservation works, which cost over €1.7m, were undertaken to address serious corrosion and extensive damage to the near 60m span suspension bridge, opened in 1927.

Enerveo was tasked with the supply, install and commissioning of public lighting and associated electrical works on this project, working as sub-contractor to Keating’s and Cork City Council on the overall project. Daly’s Bridge, known by many locally as the Shakey Bridge, is set just outside of Cork City. The footbridge connects Sunday's Well to Fitzgerald's Park, passing over the River Lee. In 2018, Cork City maintenance contractors L & M Keating were awarded the €1.7million contract for complete restoration and repair in preparation for its 100th birthday celebrations.

As the only surviving pedestrian suspension bridge of its type in Ireland, Cork City Council requested an innovative lighting solution that would increase residents’ sense of place, whilst illuminating an iconic landmark. General Lighting were appointed as design consultants for the project, working with Enerveo to specify a lighting
control solution that would encompass both remote monitoring and control of streetlighting with innovative lighting design to provide maximum visual impact.
