FP McCann Ebrington New Entrance & Boundary Treatment Works - Ebrington at Night

Ebrington New Entrance and Boundary Treatment works was installed off the Limavady road with controlled pedestrian crossing points, with the new entrance framed with stone cladding walls with backlit signage and landscaping. The wall and fence along the Limavady road old boundary wall which had been removed as part of the works was replaced in a new alignment for sightlines for the new entrance with trees and other landscaping planted along its length. Under the surface and not visible was the installation of ducting and infrastructure for the numerous Utilities along the Limavady road. The new junction on the Limavady Road has improved the flow of traffic and allowed safer access and egress for the care home and Oakgrove Integrated Primary School. A new stone clad wall with signage was installed as part of the works for Oakgrove Integrated Primary School & Nursery , with students also visiting the site during the works to learn about construction and receiving a presentation in the class room.

The New Road into Ebrington included future proof utility installations. The road had new granite footpaths of each side separated from the road with a turfed grass strip, trees and New LED lighting. At the previous main entrance from St Columb’s Road, Ebrington square has been created with ‘The Amazing Space Peace Tree’ 7m high sculpture at its centre. The sculpture created by local artist Maurice Harron features peace pledges on its leaves, lit by a flowing colour sequence of lights. The area also has seating and landscaping, with a number of distinct paving patterned areas using both high quality granite and aggregate topped concrete pavers to accentuate the features in this area.
