Ireland's largest freight and passenger port, Dublin Port Company (DPC), has secured planning permission for a large-scale logistics and warehouse park in north Dublin.

Atkins has provided full multi-discipline services for the Dublin Inland Port Project, achieving full planning permission for the site from Fingal County Council and An Bord Pleanala.

Atkins' services for the project included civil engineering, architecture, structures, MEP, traffic engineering and environmental and project management, while Faithful+Gould – Atkins' sister company – provided quantity surveying services.

The development will be a state-of-the-art logistics and warehouse facility in a strategic location, just off the M50 near Dublin Airport and Dublin Port. Its development is part of DPC's overall Masterplan for 2012–2040. The Dublin Inland Port project will facilitate the relocation of non-core activities from within Dublin Port, to a 21-hectare site located south of the Dublin Airport Logistics Park.

The relocation of non-core activities away from Dublin Port to Dublin Inland Port will safeguard the capacity of the port to accommodate projected growth in trade volume until 2040.

Atkins, along with its partner on this framework – Byrne Looby, is providing full multidiscipline engineering consultancy services for DPC, to help them realise delivery of their ambitious and exciting port development plan through to 2040. Also, as part of the DPC Masterplan, Atkins has successfully completed a New Primary Border Inspection Project.
