PROJECT
ENNISKILLEN WORKHOUSE ENTRANCE BLOCK
in damp, which would have been detrimental to the long-term durability of the structure. The roof was opened and repaired in sections to keep the building weatherproof. The areas opened were temporarily covered using tarpaulins. The new extension was built early to establish how it would marry with the existing building – particularly the existing exposed rafter-ends. The work to the Exhibition/Seminar Room was important as there were time-consuming timbers to repair/ replace as well as a concrete ring beam to construct. This work commenced when the building was weathertight and after the surrounding scaffolding had been disassembled. The splice repair of joists throughout the first floor was a key task. This required the use of planks/acrows to provide support. Underground ducting was installed to
the South West College boundary. This required close cooperation with the contractor working on the new South West College campus. When the neighbouring campus became operational there were many students in the general vicinity. A Traffic & Pedestrian Management Plan, a Deliveries Schedule to avoid peak time traffic and a Traffic Marshall were assigned to manage and reduce the risks. Commenting on the completed project, Jack Bothwell MCIOB, Contracts Manager at QMAC Construction said, “This project involved the transformation of a building which is recognised as a central part of the history of Enniskillen. We drew upon our extensive experience in the heritage sector to ensure the conservation work complemented and retained the character of the original design. We are delighted with the finished result.
This venture is an excellent example of how an old building can be restored to become an asset to a local community. We would like to thank everyone involved in the project including our dedicated supply chain.”
