PROJECT
TITANIC DISTILLERS, BELFAST
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION branching into the distillery steam supply for low-temperature hot water, which provides heat for the distillery area via a fan-assisted supply ventilation ductwork. Mechanical Contracts Manager, Tommy Livingstone, commented that NUGENT has been privileged to work on multiple heritage projects, but that it was extra N UGENT was delighted to have provided the mechanical works for the new distillery. Services included the supply and fitting of sanitary ware and the installation of VRF AC comfort cooling, ventilation services and incoming water mains. The contractors also completed the
special to be part of such a contract associated with the Titanic. “It was fantastic to see the old pump house’s pumps and equipment, fascinating to see everything retained as it was,” he said. “All the new elements, such as the distilling equipment and new structural levels fitted around the pump house equipment worked well and look amazing. There is a great contrast between the old equipment and the new.” NUGENT and main contractor JPM Contracts have a great working relationship, having participated in multiple projects together in the past years. “JPM Contracts is a great builder to
work with - nothing is a problem when you ask them for information or to assist you on site,” Tommy explained. “JPM has great experience working on specialist services and did an outstanding job of tying in old equipment with the new MEP services within the listed building.”

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
W KK Electrical was delighted to be appointed the electrical contractor working alongside JPM Contracts at the Thompson Pump House. The company has added another prestigious heritage project to its portfolio by providing the complete installation, lighting, aspirating fire alarm system, CCTV, alarm and door access systems, exterior lighting, and display case lighting for the retail area of the distillery. A whole new main supply was also brought in, and WKK wired the shipping containers that have been converted into an outdoor café and events place at the back of the building. Many of the original internal featureshave been retained to keep the historical feeling of the building alive, and WKK’s challenge was to leave as much untouched as possible. Some of the 19th-century cabling was left on the walls as well to keep the building’s character. “We also decided to leave some of the
industrial lights and control panels from back in the day in the tank room. They are not in use anymore, but do contribute to the atmosphere,” commented Commercial Director Gavin Thompson. The team also went on a scavenger hunt of sorts to look for old shipyard lights, which were refurbished and installed to add to the theme. “It was a complex build as we needed to incorporate modern-day electrical services in a building of that historical value. There
were many changes in the project during the installation to make sure everything looked right,” Gavin commented. “It is great to work alongside the JPM team, and we are very happy with the results.”
