Property developer claims remediations due to ‘understrength’ concrete used on office building will cost €9m

Keegans denies any wrongdoing and claims that if there was any defective concrete, which is denied, there was no need to remove all the concrete, thereby increasing exponentially and unnecessarily the cost of remedial works.

The contractor, Grant Fit Out Ltd engaged with Keegan about this and the firm, Mr Kennan said, claimed poor testing procedures gave these results. Mr Kennan said further tests on the concrete removed from the building showed it was significantly below minimum specification levels. That assertion fails to take account of the fact that the samples taken from the delivery lorries were taken before any alleged interference, Mr Kennan said.
