the project was not delayed.” The timeline was a further challenge, ensuring completion of LIV Student before the students occupied the building for the new semester. “We were able to overcome this challenge by working late nights to ensure completion on time to the highest standards,” explained Richard. MECHANICAL The domestic water system is heated by its own independent 2no. 500kw water heaters with 2no. 800l storage vessels to meet the demand of the building. At the bottom of each riser, thermostatic balancing valves maintain 65°C within the hot water supply feeding to pre- fabricated pods. BMS also monitors these temperatures though sentinel points installed on the boosted cold, hot water and hot return supplies. The fully programmed BMS system was put to work throughout the building in line with a strategy agreed with the end- user to monitor and control different aspects of the building, while also allowing the BMS to work automatically
and adjust accordingly with external weather conditions which in turn improved the building efficiency and limited energy consumption. Commenting on the completed project, Richard said, “The student accommodation itself is spectacular. LIV Student is the first building in Northern Ireland to be awarded 3-star Fitwel accreditation - the highest rating given by the world’s leading certification system for buildings. “We were delighted to provide MEP services for LIV Student, which was a fantastic project from start to finish. LIV Student supports Ulster University Belfast Campus for which Michael Nugent Ltd has recently completed MEP services for Phase 2 Block BD and Block BB.” Richard added, “It is a privilege to have been part of the prestigious project in the heart of Belfast. We are always delighted to work with Grahams and have delivered numerous groundbreaking projects with their exceptional team. Huge congratulations to all involved.”
Conor Curran, Maintenance Engineer for LIV Student concluded, “The quality and finish Michael Nugent Ltd has provided hasbeen second to none. Contracts Managers John McLernon and James Mackle have been excellent and a great help to the LIV team on the ground. It is a facility we can all be proud off. Well done.”
