PROJECT PROFILE
McCONNELL’S DISTILLERY, CRUMLIN ROAD GAOL, BELFAST
MAINTAINING THE STRUCTURE AND INTEGRITY OF ALL INTERIOR EXISTING FEATURES WAS IMPERATIVE FOR THIS GRADE A-LISTED BUILDING… M&E CONTRACTOR
Antrim Electrical & Mechanical Engineers (AEM) Limited successfully undertook the challenge of the complete M&E installation at McConnell’s Distillery in the Crumlin Road Gaol. The professional engineering company specialises in electrical and mechanical installation projects. Committed to providing clients with high-quality services to produce innovative projects, this project was no exception. Mechanical works included LTHW heating, ventilation, domestic services, air conditioning, heating, a BMS system, soils and wastes, and gas installation and leak detection. Electrical elements included fire detection and alarm, disabled refuge, PA/VA, CCTV, access control and intruder alarm systems; a full data and comms installation; low voltage switchgear; general, decorative and emergency lighting with a lighting control system; high- and low-level containment; and sub mains power and
distribution installation. Given the nature and age of the building, installation works were challenging for various reasons. With a Grade A-listed historical building, installation works had to be carried out in a manner that maintained the structure and integrity of all existing interior features. This was resolved by numerous design and coordination workshops with the AEM team, building contractor, architectural team and client well in advance of works commencing onsite. Collaboration was key when ensuring issues were dealt with promptly with minimal disruption to ongoing works. Steven Magill, Senior Project Manager, said, “AEM Ltd was delighted to be part of this prestigious and unique project. The project’s success was not just about creating a state-of-art distillery but delivering a valuable asset to Belfast City while showcasing our expertise in MEP services.”
