New Parkwest Train Station & Plaza
May 2007
The Parkwest Train Station & Plaza is being developed privately by Airscape for integration into the Kildare Route Project on the main Dublin to Cork rail line and is located adjacent to the existing Parkwest Avenue within Parkwest Industrial Estate. The scope of the project includes for the construction of a new railway station building and platforms primarily consisting of two main reinforced concrete stair / lift cores supporting a concourse deck, approximately 500sq.m in area, which shall span both the existing and proposed new rail tracks approximately 5m above existing track level. The concourse shall in turn support a Teflon fabric covered steel spaceframe roof which shall cover the entire concourse. The station is similar to the recently constructed Adamstown Station. The railway station shall be accessed from the existing Parkwest Avenue rail overbridge via a new plaza area, approximately 900sq.m in area, which shall be constructed alongside the station building structure. The rail track will be serviced from two new 200m long platform structures located on the north and south side of the existing tracks. The overall project value is estimated at €8M, with a contract duration of 45 weeks beginning on 5th June, 2007.
