PROJECT COMPLETION

MIDLETON DISTILLERY EXPERIENCE

On this project, conservation and restoration of the existing structures and features were paramount, as many of the original distillery buildings date back to 1794. To preserve the fabric of the historic buildings, improvements and upgrades using like-for-like materials in conjunction with modern construction methods were utilised. The project was constructed with safety, sustainability and efficiency at the fore of the design. Incorporating an efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning system and the retrofit of existing buildings will deliver improved energy performance throughout the venue and help reduce energy usage.

We are proud to have been involved in the Midleton Distillery Experience, which was officially opened by Irish Distillers and Tánaiste Micheal Martin. The visitor centre has undergone a multi-million-euro redevelopment, transforming the venue into a world-class, multi-sensory Irish whiskey experience. PJ Hegarty has a rich history with Irish Distillers, with works dating back to 1928 and we have had the pleasure of working on the Midleton Distillery site since the 1970s.

LIMERICK PRISON The upgraded Limerick Prison for female inmates was formally opened in October. PJ Hegarty worked on this project for the Irish Prison Service and it entailed designing and constructing a new five-storey building (11,000 sq. m.) attached to the existing Limerick Prison and a stand-alone two-storey female prison facility (6,900 sq. m.). The formal opening ceremony, Minister for Justice Simon Harris acknowledged that this complex construction project was completed to a very high standard and complimented all involved in the project for their efforts.

SAFETY TEMPORARY WORKS INVOLVING THE INSTALLATION OF THE TOWER CRANE AT TREASURY GOOGLE Task Planning At Treasury Google the erection of the tower crane external to the footprint of the building was proving challenging. The perimeter of the Treasury Google building is enclosed by public roads, private commercial properties and live buried services. For safety reasons a different approach had to be investigated. PJ Hegarty appointed EirEng Consulting Engineers for their professional guidance on Temporary Works. The site is very restricted and the optimum location of the tower crane was determined to be within the footprint of the building instead of externally. The ideal location, which was decided in conjunction with PJ Hegarty, involved the design of a new steel frame, which was threaded down through the building and supported off the existing pile caps.

Safe System of Works Critical safety controls measures were planned,

implemented and monitored at all stages during the tower crane erection. PJ Hegarty’s early engagement with all third parties played a vital role in the successful installation of Tower Crane 4 due to the complex nature of all the works. Temporary works designs were developed, reviewed and approved by competent engineers and third-party verification. Structural and ground investigation surveys were carried out for structural stability.

Existing mains power supply was isolated within the electrical rooms and the site was diverted to generator power supply, to allow the installation of the ground anchors. PJ Hegarty conducted several high-risk workshops and review of safety documentation prior to commencing the works. A specialist steel contractor was engaged to install the structural steel element of the tower crane mast structure which was threaded through the building on each level. Exclusion zones, fall protection and ope management procedures were installed on all levels affected. Traffic Management Plans was set up on Grand Canal Street Lower. Ground conditions were compacted and tested prior to setting up the mobile crane. DCC derogation was obtained to carry out high-risk works out of hours. Nearby residents were notified of the activities within the monthly newsletter. Crane coordination meetings were held with adjacent sites, PJ Hegarty Treasury Annex and Collen Construction to ensure all Tower Cranes were manned during the lifting operations. PJ Hegarty crane Appointed Person was in attendance to monitor Lewis Cranes throughout all stages of the tower crane erection works. On completion of the works, both Lewis Cranes and Allianz carried out all testing and commissioning activities prior to issuing the statutory GA1 certificate. PJ Hegarty would like to express a huge thank you to all parties involved for the successful installation of the Treasury Google tower crane during August. 19/05/2023 Page 6

Figure 1 - Proposed Crane Position

Sequence of Works There was a significant number of structural surveys and enabling works to be completed in advance of the tower crane erection. These works consisted of the demolition of the plant room roof enclosure. Complete engineering calculations, drawings and investigation surveys to confirm the ground floor construction, ground slab and pile cap construction were completed. Concrete coring at the existing column locations to allow the new frame to be spliced and dropped into position from roof level. Installation of the new steel frame from ground floor to 5th floor level. Installation of the new steel grillage and finally the installation of the new tower crane. 231043 | Google Treasury Building Temporary Works 19/05/2023 The existing 1940s columns are plated steel columns. Testing undertaken during the 1980s extension confirmed that the steel was characteristic of grade 43a (S275) and that the allowable stresses for Gr43a may be assumed for design purposes. ii. The existing 1940 columns are cased in concrete and the overall size is approx. 600 x 600mm. the quality of the concrete is very poor and the connections between the beams and the column and also any splices in the column are unknown. iii. The 1980s extension 4 th to 5 th floor appears to be very robust however the steel frame is supported by the weakest column section from the 1940s (14” x 5 ½” 40lb/ft, 350 x 140 UB 60kg/m) iv. The concrete floors in the 1940s original building are identified on the drawings as 120mm thick and have a flat soffit, when measured on site these were found to be 180mm thick and a bonded cementitious screed appears to have been installed on top of the existing slab. v. The concrete strength of the floors is unknown as too are the strength and grade of the bolts used in the steel to steel connections vi. The foundations of the existing building are piled and the pile cap loads have been shown on the original 1940’s drawings together with design capacity of the piles 4.0 PERMANENT PROPOSED WORKS The proposed development requires the vertical extension of the existing building by 2 floors and plantroom, replacement of the existing cladding and refurbishment and modifications to the internal layouts. 231043-ECE-ZZ-XX-RP-0001 info@eireng.com 231043-ECE-ZZ-XX-RP-0001 3.0 EXISTING BUILDING i.

6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the above information our recommendations would be as follows:

The recommended proposal for the new crane supporting structure would include the construction of a new steel frame within the existing building. At each level new horizontal steel beams, positioned above the existing concrete slab, to frame and stabilise new steel columns. This would require the removal of a portion of the existing concrete slabs at the position of the new steel columns. Diagonal bracing would be added each level (except for the first level, ground to first fool) to maintain the stability of the new steel frame. New steel beam would be fixed back to the existing concrete core to provide further stability, this would only occur at the 4 th level and 1 st floor level. The new member sizes are to be in the magnitude of a 254 UC for the columns, 203UC for beams and diagonal beams 200RSA angles for the elevation bracing.

SAFETY TOWER CRANE RESCUE TEAM

Well done to PJ Hegarty staff Paddy Bennett, Mihai Rusu, Shane Kierans and Derek Smith who completed the Tower Crane Rescue training. There are four members required to establish an effective Tower Crane Rescue Team. The team is allocated to the Treasury Google and Annex projects. Over the course of the next few months, two additional Tower Crane Rescue Teams will be trained. One for the Waterfront project and a backup team to cover both. The teams are there to initiate a rescue from a tower crane and to assist the Dublin Fire Brigade in the event of an emergency.

LEAD PAINT REMOVAL AT TREASURY GOOGLE

Some of the key safety controls implemented included: • The use of wet blasting to minimise any dust generation. • Secluding the area by the use of an ‘enclosure’ using 500-guage clear polythene creating a ‘bubble’ around the work area. • Use of Filtered Respiratory Protection with chemical absorbent filters (FFP3) including Fit Testing of operatives to ensure that the RPE was effective for their own personal use. • Use of chemical resistant Cat 3 type 5/6 coverall suits. • Use of rubber gloves. • Use of IFBC bags for all waste (hazardous waste). • Lead Awareness Training. • Undertaking air tests once the works were completed. • A RAMS outlining a detailed methodology for the removal works was developed and approved for the works. Further guidance on lead work can be found via the HSA website, Safety with Lead at Work, a guide for employers and employees .

As part of the works required to be undertaken on the Treasury Google project, there was a need to remove existing lead paint from steel columns, many of which were encased in concrete. As part of the project scope an additional two floors are due to be built and to enable this to occur extra strength is required within the building which requires existing steel columns to be reinforced. Due to this, the steel columns had to be exposed and it was identified during investigation testing, that a number of these columns were painted with a lead-based paint. When intact, lead paint poses no immediate health threat, however when it starts flaking or peeling it can be toxic and can cause serious health issues as well as environmental ones. To ensure the strengthening works could be undertaken safely, the lead paint had to be removed. Our project demolition contractor, JJ Duffy, engaged with a specialist contractor to undertake the lead paint removal works. The methodology for this work was for the removal area to be fully enclosed. This was achieved using a clear polythene sheeting erected around the removal area to create a bubble. This enabled the contractor to work in silo to undertake the removal works. The methodology of removal was via wet blasting using an Aquablaster Xtreme 100 blasting machine. This allows for wet removal of the lead paint with minimal dust generation otherwise known as dustless blasting. In the areas where the Aquablaster could not be used, the contractor utilised a ‘Peel Away’ method. This involved applying a chemical-based paste with a spatula to cover the affected area. The paste was then covered by wrapping it with plastic, which is left in position for 72 hours, after which, the paste is scraped off and disposed of in approved hazardous waste bags and sealed.

NEW SAFETY PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTATION The EHS department will be introducing two new procedures in Q1 of 2024. 1 Control of Hazardous Energies (COHE) and 2 Management of Mobile Plant The Mobile Plant procedure will replace several existing operational procedures. Site staff will be invited to attend PJ Hegarty procedure training using both on site sessions and SKILLKO LEARN during Q1 of 2024. DIISOCYANATES GENERAL SAFETY AWARENESS TRAINING On the 4th August 2020 the EU adopted a new restriction (Entry 74 of REACH) Annex XVII) of the placing on the market and use of diisocyanates. All professional and industrial users of diisocyanates must undertake adequate training before use from 24th August 2023. Diisocyanates are a family of chemical building blocks used to make a wide range of polyurethane products. You can find diisocyanates in a number of construction products including polyurethane paints, coatings, foams, glues and resins (e.g., expanding foam). Diisocyanates General Awareness training is now available to all on SKILLKO LEARN and will be included in the PJ Hegarty site induction from Jan 2024. Any persons who will be working directly with Diisocyanates will require additional training, which is available to all DECEMBER SAFETY FOCUS On Monday December 4th PJ Hegarty will be launching our December Safety Focus Calendar. The calendar provides a safety message and a site safety focus for each day. The target is to have no injuries or incidents during the month of December and to have all workers return home safe every day, especially for the Christmas season. These daily messages and topics of focus will be communicated through the whiteboards and supervision to cascade the message to workers each day. It is vital that all supervisors keep a strong presence and engagement on site during the month of December to help keep workers focused on their tasks.

free online. It is important that all our suppliers are aware of the new training requirements before engaging in activities using diisocyanates.

SAFETY

WINTER ROAD SAFETY Tyre Safety tips Maintain good tyre tread depths The best tread depth is typically 8 mm, the worst – legally – is 1.6 mm. Anything less than this is extremely unsafe. Correct tyre pressures matters The only contact your car has with the road is your four tyres. If you have under inflated tyres it leads to increased erosion of the tyre tread, and ultimately a reduction in grip. Tyre wear from under inflation typically takes place at the edges – known as uneven tyre wear. With over inflated tyres, you risk having a high-speed blow- out, because they’re too stiff and rigid. This means they lack flexibility. Your vehicle’s correct tyre pressure values can typically be found either printed on the inside of its fuel cap, or inside the driver door.

Regularly check for tyre damage If you make a little effort and regularly check your tyres, you’ll go a long way to achieving the level of tyre safety you need. Check for treads and tyre pressure as above. But also check for any nicks, cuts and scrapes. Better tyres keep you safe Opting to fit cheaper tyres to your car may seem like a good way to save some money at first, but in the long term it’s a

false economy. Car light checks

For the month of December we will be organising car light checks to promote road safety. A representative from J&A will be carrying out checks on car lights in the coming week.

GUEST SPEAKER CLODAGH CAHILL TALKS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE AWARENESS PJ Hegarty invited Mental Health advocate Clodagh Cahill to guest speak at a number of PJ Hegarty sites in Dublin to share her story. Clodagh, a personal trainer, influencer and advocate for mental health, bravely shares her experiences growing up in foster care, coping with the tragic loss of her mother and a dear friend to suicide and her remarkable journey of resilience and discovery. In the wake of the devastating losses, Clodagh found herself grappling not only with grief but also with her own mental health challenges. She reached a point where the pain was so intense that she attempted to take her own life. Yet, in the midst of her deepest despair, Clodagh discovered a hidden well of inner strength that would change the course of her life.

Clodagh is a beacon to anyone struggling with their mental health and that there is hope and healing for anyone bereaved by suicide.

PJ HEGARTY’S GARY DIXON VISITS ELI LILLY For CIF Safety Month, Gary Dixon visited the Eli Lilly project in Limerick. Gary joined PJ Hegarty in 2019. In 2011, Gary sustained a serious hand injury which resulted in him spending three months in hospital. Gary is very open about the struggles he faced mentally, physically and financially during that time. The talk was a tremendous success. Participants shared beautiful feedback, expressing how deeply moved they were by Gary’s heartfelt and powerful talk. You can read some of the feedback form Gary’s story below. “Gary has a remarkable way of using simple yet impactful words to communicate the challenges he has faced. It was an absolute pleasure to have him on-site, and I highly recommend anyone to have a chat with him. His story truly resonated with me and everyone on site.”

“I wanted to personally express my gratitude for your incredible talks at Eli Lilly in Limerick. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and I can confidently say that your talks had a tremendous impact on everyone. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and there’s been a lot of buzz and engagement about it on the site. Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story, and I can’t wait to meet you again.”

We did this with breathwork, self-acupressure, and some transformative self-reflective coaching questions and insights.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING MENTAL HEALTH DURING WINTER

SOCIALISE Winter can sometimes lead to increased isolation outside working hours, so it is essential to maintain frequent contact with family and/or friends. Staying connected with others and participating in social activities can improve your wellbeing. MENTAL HEALTH CHATS Look out for yourself and colleagues by starting and engaging in conversations about mental health. Winter can be an incredibly lonely time for some people, and it’s essential to have a culture where discussing mental health is encouraged. RUDUCE ALCOHOL

As the days get shorter and exposure to sunlight reduces, we must look out for our physical and mental health. The winter months can increase levels of tiredness and stress, and some will suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). To help combat this, we have some tips to help you through the winter months: ROUTINE An effective routine during the winter months can help reduce stress, lead to better mental health, more time to relax and less anxiety. Consistent sleep patterns are essential during winter as it can help you get better quality rest. EXERCISE Ensure you regularly exercise to release endorphins and lift your mood. Exercise can help you sleep better and reduce anxiety. Regular activity also helps you feel better, improve balance, strengthen bones and muscles, lower blood pressure, maintain or lose weight and keep your mind sharp as you age.

CONSUMPTION Studies have shown that people who live in colder climates consume more alcohol, and while it may be tempting to drink more during winter, it’s important to be aware that it contributes to feelings of depression and tiredness.

CHARITY CYCLE FOR THE PETER MCVERRY TRUST

The PJ Hegarty Cycling Club was proud to participate in the annual Peter McVerry Cycle in September. Despite unforgiving and challenging weather conditions on the day, the team completed the cycle of the Leopardstown Loop through the Wicklow Way. We were proud to be sponsors of one of the most important fundraising events for this charity. Funds raised help Peter McVerry continue to deliver crucial support and services to those impacted by homelessness who need help the most in communities across Ireland.

ESG CASE STUDY: CIRCULAR ECONOMY, RE-USE OF OAK WHISKEY VATS AND BARRELS PROJECT: IDL VISITOR CENTRE, MIDLETON, CO. CORK As part of the sustainability and material recycling commitment in the IDL Visitor Centre refurbishment project it was decided to use oak timber from old whiskey vats rather than new oak. The timber was dried and processed by a timber specialist and incorporated into some of the Specialist Joinery items such as the Mezzanine Tasting Room Floor as well as the counter tops for the bars. Additionally, oak barrels used in the whiskey maturation process, were processed by a timber flooring specialist and used as type of parquet flooring in the Upper Kiln and Library Tasting Rooms. 20 m 2 of recycled material was used on counter tops while 130 m 2 was used in flooring.
