NEWCASTLE FIRE STATION, CO DOWN PROJECT PROFILE
FASCIA, SOFFIT, GUTTERING & DOWNPIPES
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR
Haughey Electrical has recently completed the electrical refurbishment of Newcastle Fire Station. The scope of works included upgrading the switchgear, lighting, fire alarm and PA systems and IT network, as well as installation of solar photovoltaic panels. This significant modernisation of the station improves its sustainability by helping to reduce energy demand and building-related carbon emissions. Jimmy Haughey, Director, says, “As an electrical contractor, it is highly rewarding to be part of the refurbishment works of these vital firefighting services that serve local communities. “By working collaboratively with WRC, the project was delivered on time, to budget and to the highest quality. One of the unique elements was the installation of a remotely-operated alert system which causes energisation of essential services before the arrival of the firefighters.” Founded in 1960 by James Haughey, Haughey Electrical is a second-generation family business with its head office in Glenariffe, Co Antrim, offering full electrical installation works in the commercial, industrial, hospitality, health, educational and residential sectors.
