To sum up<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In addition to setting an objective to provide sufficient port capacity by 2040, the Dublin Port Masterplan of 2012, committed to re-integrating the Port with the City. Among other things, those projects have been designed to enhance the attractiveness of the port area for residents and tourists, mainly by promoting the port’s heritage. The rehabilitation of the Substation, the Tolka Estuary Greenway project and the Pumphouse heritage zone, are part of this strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former c.1923 electrical substation (PS) is part of the Port\u2019s industrial heritage that has been reimagined as a multipurpose event space. Conserved according to best practice, extended with contemporary glass and concrete structures to double its footprint, with a glazed viewing panel within, to reveal the eighteenth-century sea wall below, illustrating the historic layering of the site, where the city once met the sea. The Substation takes part in the global development strategy for the port city by its adaptive reuse and preservation of cultural heritage while promoting sustainable urban development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tolka Estuary Greenway is located on the northern fringe of Dublin Port & is a dedicated cycle & pedestrian route stretching 3km through Port lands previously not accessible by the public. A number of Stop Points are incorporated along the route which are contemporary public spaces on the water\u2019s edge. This project contributes to enhance environmental and life quality with the planting of trees and improves the overall well-being of citizens, delivering social value and benefit for local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Pumphouse\u2019 project completes these developments. This former boat maintenance area is an integral part of Dublin Port’s Distributed Museum, which allows visitors to explore the port and discover its heritage and history. The site now hosts a diverse programme of events, including theatre performances, children’s art workshops, and art exhibitions. The surrounding public spaces have been redesigned to highlight the outstanding features of the port’s heritage such as old cranes and a lightship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
