SHOWTIME FOR THE PLUMBING AND HEATING INDUSTRY
Welcome to our latest edition, which should be out just in time for Plumbex Dublin at our exciting new venue, the National Indoor Arena in Blanchardstown, over September 10-11. We look forward to welcoming you all there and, if you can’t make it, our next trade show is Plumbex Limerick at the UL Sports Arena over March 31 to April 1, 2026. Alongside the latest news and features, two landmark case studies feature in this edition. M&P Mechanical’s installation at Shanganagh Castle Estate in Dublin, one of the largest social and affordable housing developments in Ireland, stands out for achieving ambitious sustainability goals. It is also the first project to be backed by the Land Development Agency, created by the Irish government to boost availability of affordable housing. And NUGENT has, meanwhile, delivered a high-quality MEP package ahead of schedule at St Ronan’s College in Co Armagh, which is notable as Northern Ireland largest single-school build to date at 20,000sqm with capacity for 1,750 pupils.
