WUXI BIOLOGICS, DUNDALK This huge €650 million project involved some of Ireland’s biggest construction and engineering companies. “Our scope of works consisted of installing a laboratory, mains, and domestic water systems throughout three buildings.

The project included gas central heating, MVHR ventilation, boosted cold water supply, basement slung drainage, basement smoke ventilation and a fire sprinkler system.
