DOMINICK STREET REGENERATION PROJECT, DUBLIN
MURPHY & KELLY DELIVERS LARGE-SCALE SOCIAL HOUSING PROJECT WITH A FOCUS ON RENEWABLE SYSTEMS… SEVEN ROOFTOP PLANT ROOMS SERVE NEW BUILD DOMINICK STREET APARTMENTS
M echanical services contractor Murphy & Kelly (Thomastown) Ltd has successfully delivered a mechanical services installation for 72 A-rated social housing units in Dublin 1. The newly built Dominick Street Regeneration Project, just off Parnell Street, consists of 67 apartments, five standalone townhouses, a community centre, retail space and a basement car park. “This was a sizeable project in terms of physical proportions and complexity of work,” explained Dean Kelly, Contracts Director at Murphy & Kelly. “The apartments are spread across seven stair cores, with seven rooftop plant rooms serving each core. We installed two large buffers inside each
plant room, one for domestic hot water and one for LPHW, which were fed from three Kronoterm heat pumps – 21 in total – supplied by Glenergy. “Each stair core plant room has its own BMS panel, supplied and commissioned by Controltech, which then link to a central BMS system located in the basement car park. “Each townhouse has its own, standalone heat pump, while the community centre also has its own heat pump serving hot water, plus underfloor heating, heat recovery units and air handling units throughout.” Internal pipework from the apartment plant rooms terminate in a heat interface unit that was supplied by RVR Tecnnologies. “The heat interface
units then feed directly into the underfloor heating system, which was designed, supplied and installed by Base Engineering,” said Dean. “Each apartment has a demand control ventilation system supplied by Systemair, which is operated on humidity,” he added. All the lobbies, stairwells and communal areas are heated by Zehnder radiators supplied by Versatile, Cavan and fed by the rooftop plant rooms for each core. All water services are fed from the water services plant room located in the basement car park. Booster pumps were supplied by Wilo, and all the tanks on the site were supplied by CubicM3. The dry riser runs throughout the seven stair cores for fire protection, and was supplied by Apex Fire and installed by
