NEWCASTLE FIRE STATION, CO DOWN PROJECT PROFILE
STORAGE EQUIPMENT
PLASTERING Plastering works, including re-skimming the inside of the building and finishing the outside with K-Rend, were completed by Seamus Lynch Plastering. With the company’s client base largely comprising private dwellings, Newcastle Fire Station proved an interesting project and portfolio addition for Seamus Lynch Plastering. The station remained operational throughout the project, which was sequenced to accommodate the movement of personnel and any active duties. Seamus Lynch Plastering has previously partnered with main contractor William Rogers Construction on many other contracts. Seamus Lynch, owner, said, “It was an absolute pleasure to work with Managing Director Damien Rogers and his team as always. Nothing is ever an issue.” Based in Rathfriland, Co Down, Seamus Lynch Plastering provides internal and external plastering services and all types of renders to private individuals and contractors working on residential and commercial structures throughout Northern Ireland.
GearGrid supplied and installed storage equipment for the refurbished fire station, including lockers for firefighters’ structural PPE and for kitbags and equipment. A specialist in storage equipment for emergency services, the company also supplied mobile storage solutions, as specified by Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS). GearGrid has worked in partnership with NIFRS across multiple projects, including its new Learning & Development College in Cookstown and around six stations this year. Iain Wilson, Project Manager, says, “This was our first time working with WRC and the partnership went well. I went over for an on-site meeting prior to us sending our installers and equipment across and the installation was straightforward.” For fire services, improper storage can lead to unnecessary repair costs and premature gear replacement. GearGrid systems segregate PPE and equipment, improving workflows and overall hygiene. Every GearGrid system is engineered to stand up to the toughest daily demands, with its heavy-duty steel construction
and durable powder coat finish ensuring long life and promoting maximum air movement for faster drying.
