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.
