PROJECT
DOMINICK STREET REGENERATION PROJECT, DUBLIN
Murphy & Kelly. The considerable fire- rated ductwork in the basement car park was supplied by Airforce H&V. Ecocool supplied air conditioning equipment for the community centre and the comms room. In addition to the heat pumps and other renewable and efficiency-minded equipment installed on the project, is a rainwater harvesting system. Dean explained, “The rain water captured from the large surface area on the roof of the apartment block flows into a tank in the basement area, where it is filtered in the water plant room and then distributed throughout the seven stair cores to the toilets in each apartment for flushing. “From a water conservation point of view, it’s a great addition to the project to be able to collect rain water from the roof and use it to flush the toilet,” said Dean. CHALLENGES “The biggest issue was the sheer amount of pipework and work that went into such a large-scale project, but we are extremely experienced in delivering complex mechanical services projects. Under the
direction of Site Manager, Alan Grogan, who co-ordinated all the subcontractors, we ensured the highest standard of work was adhered to at all times. “It was also great to work alongside MMA Consulting Engineers to find practical solutions to the onsite installation,” Dean added. The risers below the seven plant rooms all terminate within the basement car park - with plans to connect to the future district heating scheme, which is hoped to be rolled out within Dublin City in the next few of years. Commenting on the complete job, Dean said, “Murphy & Kelly was delighted to be appointed as mechanical contractors by Duggan Brothers Ltd, Templemore on this project; one of many we have successfully delivered for them.” He spoke highly of the supply chain who helped pull the project together. “I like to say that our subcontractors don’t work for us, they work with us. This relationship results in projects of the highest standard of quality being handed over to the end- user and the client.”
