MetroLink Project Conservation Architect

Reference number:  TII271

TII have engaged the services of a MetroLink Project Conservation Architect (Grade 1; hereafter referred to as ‘PCA’) who will act in an advisory capacity to the MetroLink project team. TII require the PCA to advise on all architectural and built heritage matters (hereafter referred to as ‘heritage’) associated with MetroLink and to work with TII’s Archaeology & Heritage and Architecture Sections. The PCA will have an important role in advising TII and TII’s Consultants and Contractors in relation to the logistics of scope and program for the proposed project. The PCA will equally play an integral role in undertaking third party consultation with various statutory and prescribed bodies, in addition to individual stakeholders on behalf of MetroLink. The PCA will review and provide detailed comments on all MetroLink contract documentation and will manage and monitor conservation works arising from each MetroLink contract.

Main site or place of performance:  

The PCA will be required to prepare the Architectural Heritage Conservation Section of the MetroLink Cultural Heritage Strategy to ensure that heritage constraints are adequately protected for the duration of the works and safeguarded for the future. The strategy will address heritage constraints with statutory protection, such as National Monuments, Protected Structures, Recorded Monuments and Places (where applicable and in consultation with the TII Project Archaeologist) and proposed public realm works including those within Architectural Conservation Areas and Conservation Areas. In addition, it will also address heritage constraints on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, and constraints of industrial and cultural heritage value such as railway infrastructure, canals, street furniture sculptures and plaques. These constraints represent critical components of Dublin’s heritage ranging from the mid-15th century to the present day.
The PCA will prepare methodologies and specifications for conservation and protection in situ works, or preservation by record of a variety of heritage constraints ranging from National Monuments to historic street furniture and paving. These documents will comply with mitigation measures outlined in the MetroLink Environmental Impact Assessment Report and will reflect any conditions imposed by An Bord Pleanála in their decision to grant a Railway Order. The PCA will also review and provide detailed comments on MetroLink tender documentation and monitor site works to ensure compliance with contract requirements and approved Contractor work methodologies and specifications.
It is anticipated that the PCA will be appointed for the duration of the proposed project including final reinstatement. The PCA will be responsible for preparing all associated reporting upon completion of each phase of construction works. The services required by TII of the PCA will include, but not be limited to the following:
▪ Advise the MetroLink Project Team on all issues relating to Architectural and Built Heritage;
▪ Prepare annotated Drawn, Measured and Photographic Survey (DMPS) and written pre-and post-works Structural and Condition Survey Reports on heritage constraints to be removed (in full or in part; in the short term or permanently) or protected in situ to accommodate construction of the proposed project. Relevant competent members of the PCA team will support preparation of the reports. The reports will be updated on completion of the works to include details of any cleaning, conservation or other works undertaken and will form a permanent record of each heritage constraint. Copies of these reports, once approved by TII, will be submitted by the PCA to the Irish Architectural Archive (IAA) prior to contract close out;
▪ Undertake a peer review of the MetroLink Environmental Impact Assessment Report Architectural Heritage chapter and preliminary design;
▪ Develop the Architectural Heritage Conservation Section of the MetroLink Cultural Heritage Strategy under advisement of the TII Project Archaeologist;
▪ Review and provide detailed comment on MetroLink contract requirements;
▪ Develop specifications for the retention and preservation in situ where possible of heritage constraints or elements thereof; or removal to secure storage conservation and subsequent permanent reinstatement;
▪ Review method statements submitted by TII appointed Contractors to ensure that proposed works conform to contract requirements and best conservation practice
▪ Provide regular attendance on site to inspect and monitor the implementation of measures and
▪ Attend regular meetings with the MetroLink Design Team and Employers Representatives.
