The first campaign was performed from 6 April to 11 April 2010 and the second between 11 May to 14 May 2010. The first campaign comprised vessel-based mapping of spatial current distribution in Dublin Bay, deployment of two bottom-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), a temperature/conductivity string as well as float trackings. The second campaign also comprised mapping of spatial current distribution as well as float trackings. Additionally, the deployed instruments were all recovered. The hydrographical data will be used to develop and calibrate a three-dimensional hydrodynamic and transport numerical model which forms part of the subsequent thermal impact and re-circulation study.

The ADCP uses the Doppler principle to measure the water velocity relative to the boat. In addition, the ADCP also measures its own speed and direction across the bottom using the same technique as it uses to measure the velocity of the water. By subtracting the boat velocity from the apparent (relative) water velocity, the true velocity of the water with respect to the bottom is determined. An ADCP divides the water column into a number of discrete segments stacked in the vertical. These segments are called depth cells. The ADCP determines the velocity and direction of each depth cell. If we plot the velocity as a function of depth, we get a velocity profile from near the surface to near the bottom, see Figure 2.3. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. Figure 2.3 Boat-mounted ADCP measuring principle Due to inherent limitations in the Doppler principle, the ADCP cannot measure the top 1.2-2m (distance depends on configuration) of the water column and an area close to the seabed equal to 6% of the total water depth. The ADCP was configured to collect a velocity profile approximately every 10 seconds while underway. The boat speed was kept around 5 knots thereby recording a current velocity profile every 25m. The ADCP was mounted on the survey boat’s port using a simple wood assembly, see Figure 2.2. Spatial current information was collected in predefined lines, see Figure 2.1. The lines were established in order to provide the best possible information on the current circula- tion pattern that is instrumental in the calibration of the hydrodynamic model. 11806543.kir.be.06.2010 6 DHI EPA Export 10-12-2012:23:36:56 A Hemisphere V110 GPS compass provided heading and positioning data and HYPACK MAX integrated survey software package were used for data collection and navigation. HYPACK MAX is a suite of programmes assisting in collecting and processing data pertinent to surveying works. The programme displays the survey area and creates planned survey lines. Navigation information for assisting the helmsman to keep the boat on the predefined lines is displayed on the PC screen. At the end of each survey day, all transect data were processed and depth-averaged currents were presented in pdf files superimposed on a Google image of Dublin Bay. An example is shown below: For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use.

Velocities are in cm/sec. The corresponding tidal stage is shown in the top left corner (the solid red curve represents the tide during the measurement period) 11806543.kir.be.06.2010 7 DHI EPA Export 10-12-2012:23:36:56 It was attempted to temporally distribute the data collection in such a way that various tidal stages were covered. The weather conditions were very favourable during the first measuring campaign, whereas the second campaign was characterised by windy conditions which to a certain degree affected the amount of data that we managed to collect. However, the data quality was not affected and in general, the quality of the transect data from both campaigns was very high. Velocity profiles in each transect were depth-averaged and are presented as vector plots on a total of 16 plots.

  • National Marine Planning Framework
    Draft NMPF Submissions, Marine Planning Section Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government Newtown Road Wexford, Y35 AP90 Emailed to [email protected] 30th April 2020 Submission – Draft National Marine Planning Framework (NMPF) Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to comment on the Draft National Marine Planning Framework (NMPF). Founded in 1964, Kilsaran Concrete is the largest privately owned concrete and construction materials company in Ireland. Kilsaran remains a family owned Irish company producing quality construction material from 20 large quarries and 23 nationwide state-of-the-art concrete production facilities. Accordingly, Kilsaran has an intimate knowledge of terrestrial planning framework as it pertains to the sourcing and delivery of essential construction raw materials and concrete manufactured products. Kilsaran formed part of a group of companies that participated in the IMAGIN1 Project. The overall aim of the IMAGIN project was to facilitate the evolution of a strategic framework within which the exploitation of marine aggregate resources from the Irish Sea may be sustainably managed with minimum risk of impact on marine and coastal environments, ecosystems and other marine users. IMAGIN identified significant deposits of sand and gravel in the Irish Sea. We wish to have input on the design of a future marine planning framework for Ireland, and help to realise Ireland’s marine potential as a sustainable source of construction aggregates. We hope you find our comments useful and we would be happy to discuss them further with you, should that be required. 1 Kozachenko, M., Fletcher, R., Sutton, G., Monteys, X., Van Landeghem, K., Wheeler, A., Lassoued, Y., Cooper, A.

  • Design of a BIM Integrated Structural Health Monitoring System for a Historic Offshore Lighthouse
    buildings Article Design of a BIM Integrated Structural Health Monitoring System for a Historic Offshore Lighthouse Michael O’Shea * and Jimmy Murphy ERI, MaREI Research, University College Cork, P43 C573 Cork, Ireland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 24 June 2020; Accepted: 14 July 2020; Published: 16 July 2020 Abstract: The advent of wireless sensors and internet of things connectivity combined with increased open source cloud based digital sharing among the architecture, engineering, and construction industry has helped expand the range of applications for building information modelling. As the rate of adoption of BIM as a standard practice for planning, designing, and constructing new infrastructure increases, the research focus is moving towards other applications. Utilizing BIM in innovative ways such as for building energy performance, carbon capture, and asset management are now being explored. An area which receives less focus is the application of BIM on existing structures. This study explores the potential for implementing BIM on an existing structure for asset management and structural health monitoring. A method of integrating sensors to enhance the visualisation of structural health monitoring through BIM is developed. The study describes how monitoring data can be integrated within the BIM of an offshore lighthouse. Keywords: structural health monitoring; offshore structures; lighthouse; revit; dynamo; building sensors 1. Introduction 1.1. BIM Development Building information modelling, although appearing to be a relevantly recent advancement in AEC associated with 3D modelling software, was first proposed theoretically in the 1960s when Englebart [1] described how building information could be visualised on a computer including specifications and construction sequencing through a collaborative design and construction approach.

From North Bull Island (top), photo: Mark Carmody and from Sandymount Strand, photo: Dick Coombes. Introduction This note is a list of some rare and scarce species and subspecies that have been re- corded within the traditional boundaries of County Dublin, now comprising Dublin City, Fingal, South Dublin and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. Systematic List The Systematic List includes records that have been recorded in at least one of Thomp- son (1849-1851), Ussher & Warren (1900), Barrington (1900), Kennedy et al. (1954), Kennedy (1961), Irish Bird Reports (1953 to 2003), Irish Rare Bird Reports (2004 to 2019), Irish East Coast Bird Reports (1980 to 2003), Irish Scarce Migrant Reports (2004 to 2008), The Birds of Dublin and Wicklow (Hutchinson 1975) and North Bull Island Bird Reports (2011 to 2020). In addition, some records not included in any of the previous that are posted on the Irish Birding, eBird Ireland and Birds of North Bull Island web- sites are included. A few records have been communicated by the observer. Species ranges indicated are very general just to provide a broad outline. For polytypic species, the form that is normally found or expected in Ireland is given.
