Is The Marshes about to collapse???

sudzs

Has anyone else noticed the cracks all over the tiled floor of The Marshes???

The cracks run across from one support column to it's opposite one. And they are marked with little blue crosses so you can't really miss 'em!

Is the place subsiding I wonder? :eek:

Makes me nervous anyway!!

Dundalk Daily

Havent seen the cracks but I can say that all those fields used to be under water for most of the year, very poor land.

sudzs

Uh-oh!

AOR

Woo Hoo!!:D

Mr Magnolia

I've never noticed, I'll have a look though. That is all re-claimed marsh. I imagine they pile-drived the foundations though....

Merrick

Yup, I did indeed notice that, there are wee blue stars allover the place! Like Sudz said most of them are running between the columns, which doesn't bode well at all...

Bard

Hi Bard ,

Just matter of interest who you working for in the marshes ?

Eh also back on topic when i worked there more then a year ago the cracks were appearing and the place was literally just opened.I remember having a conversation with the manager Harry traynor about it and He indeed was worried about it.

I'm working for 3. They're opposite Dunnes - next to Easons.

Who did you work for there?

Tchocky

I for one would welcome it*

Unless they get a bookshop in with something other then "Crime - Irish Interest - Sports Biography"


* - of course, after hours, with all personnel removed and supplied with bullhorns

I worked there nearly two years ago now when it first opened i worked for o2. it was hell

Spyral

Settlement cracks are fairly common in any new building, if anything the cracks are marked out for the contractor responsible to return and fix the problem. Its a huge area of tiling that may need re-laying serves the f**kers right if they didnt do the job properly in the frist place.

Mr Magnolia

I've been in myself since and haven't noticed them. Are they all over the floor or around any one specific area?

The Old Shopping Centre was sinking for years and still is. If that piece of **** didn't collapse, I doubt the Marshes is on the verge..

Used to have great craic pulling pallets of moss peat across the centre from the the main store to the non food store. Still don't know how they didn't topple over.

haha , trust steve to say something like that ,i believe he is writing a book now

Mr Magnolia

Seen the craks yesterday alright. They've been highlighted so I'd imagine that some sort of work is about to be carried out on them.

Your very right, My uncles business is currently working on that at the moment, It is the layer underneath that we fiqured is moving slightly, Currently We are waiting for the head engineer to come over from england and check it out, Although we also found cracks and joint movements outside of the main structure as well, so it looks like it could be going under the knife sometime soon... More work for us:) , Its not in any serious danger. Safety wize its okay, Did you also notice that the blue emergency doors also have a main problem, beside the jewlers, The movement has caused problems with the door, And that would be classed as a Safety hazard, It should have had better foundations layed out...
