but one we are proud to have overcome.” As with any project of this size, there were more than a few hurdles to overcome for the team at Kerrigan. With the void space being heavily congested by ducts, pipes and air conditioning, the company decided to use BIM to model all the plantrooms in a bid to utilise the limited space available to its fullest potential. And of course, Covid-19 restrictions slowed down the construction process, as it cut the number of people who could work on any aspect of a project at any one time. Despite these curbs, Kerrigan still managed to complete the work as scheduled, on time and within budget. But perhaps the most critical challenge presented was the removal of the existing gas line. Kerrigan installed a temporary gas supply running along the exterior of the building, before removing
the existing 4” line and replacing it with an upsized 6” pipe. “We had two extremely successful changeovers and were delighted to record minimum downtime of an hour for the second, which was to the client’s delight,” Francis added. “There was minimal disruption to the live hotel operations, which remained fully active and functioning for the duration of the works. Following handover, we took great pleasure in hearing that the hotel was at over 90% capacity for the majority of the time, and there were no complaints regarding any disruption. “We were delighted to be involved in such a high-profile project in the centre of Dublin. We have strong relationships with Dalata, Monami, Patrick Mc Cauls and Douglas Wallace and we look forward to working with them on other projects of similar scope in future.”
