Kilsaran was selected for the RCSI Education and Research Building due to our proven ability to deliver high‑performance concrete solutions for complex, design‑led projects. The brief demanded exceptional consistency, durability, and aesthetic quality—particularly for the exposed structural elements, sculptural columns, and polished floor finishes featured throughout the building.

Our ready‑mix concrete and concrete blocks were chosen for their reliability, structural strength, and suitability for precision‑formed architectural features. Kilsaran’s technical team worked closely with the project stakeholders to ensure each mix met the exact requirements for finish, workability, and long‑term performance. For signature elements such as the polished flooring on Level 2, Kilsaran developed a bespoke mix incorporating crushed gravel to achieve a clean, reflective, premium finish.

From stringent quality control to tailored mix design and on‑site technical support, Kilsaran’s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship made us the trusted choice for a project where concrete plays a central architectural and structural role.

The Academic Hub at TU Dublin’s Grangegorman Campus is a landmark, light-filled building that integrates the protected North House and annex, with exposed concrete forming a key architectural feature. Benchmark concrete samples were poured in June 2022, with the design team agreeing to a consistent mix incorporating 30% GGBS cement replacement to ensure high-quality, uniform exposed concrete throughout the project.
