The Story
Located on Dublin’s waterfront, the St George’s Quay which is the new Citi Bank Headquarters in the city stands as a testament to architectural ambition and precision steel fabrication. Vision Fabrications Limited was selected as the specialist steelwork fabricator for this complex installation.
This project required highly technical structure, demanding exacting standards in fabrication, finishing, and installation. The building spans 9–10 storeys high. Its unique form called for a structural solution that was both robust and elegant, seamlessly integrating with the facade's glazing systems and support structure.
Every component had to be fabricated and installed to a tolerance of +2mm, demanding rigorous quality control throughout design, production, and on-site erection. The installation also required the application of an N9 paint specification a high-grade industrial finish offering long-term protection while meeting the aesthetic requirements of the project.
We worked in close collaboration with PJ Hegarty, Alucraft, and the facade engineers, ensuring that every detail was reviewed, tested, and verified before arriving on site. Due to the sheer height of the structure (spanning 9–10 storeys), installation had to be executed with meticulous planning.
Installation was carried out alongside the ongoing facade glazing works, requiring coordinated site logistics and shared access.
"The St George's Quay project exemplifies what can be achieved when specialist fabrication, architecture, and engineering work in harmony. Vision Fabrications' contribution stands out for several reasons: Achieving +2mm tolerance on a multi-storey architectural steel structure is a rare and demanding feat, requiring exceptional attention to detail at every stage. The use of machined polished stainless steel tie bars and a high-spec N9 paint finish, demonstrates a refined approach to industrial materials in an architectural context. Seamless integration with glazing systems, facade contractors, and the main contractor ensured that structural integrity and visual impact of the project."

O’Carroll Engineering (Killarney Precision Engineering Ltd)
Alta Verde exemplifies excellence in architectural metalwork through the seamless integration of functional balconies with decorative façade framing. With 266 cantilevered balconies and 9 kilometres of framing, the project pushed the boundaries of off-site steel fabrication, demanding precision and innovation. O'Carroll Engineering used advanced 3D modelling and site scanning to prefabricate components with millimetre accuracy—delivering perfect alignment across three buildings without trial fit
Façade System, Canadian Embassy, Dublin
Castle paints
The façade is a striking example of modern architectural metalwork, blending form and function with precision. Angled, perforated vertical steel fins provide both visual depth and practical solar shading. Their rhythmic alignment complements the glazed curtain wall, creating a dynamic surface that shifts with the light throughout the day. Crafted with exceptional care, the façade showcases tight tolerances and clean lines, reflecting high standards in both fabrication and installation. Its susta
