installation nevertheless stood out for its installation of Calor BioLPG tanks. The first widely-available renewable gas for homes and businesses, Calor BioLPG was chosen in a bid to reduce carbon emissions and increase the distillery and visitor centre’s environmental performance. Unlike conventional LPG, which is a by-product of oil and gas exploration. BioLPG is made from recycled materials, including recycled waste and residue materials and sustainably-sourced renewable vegetable oils. This high-profile project is a serious feather in the cap for McCorley Mechanical and Electrical. It’s expected to become a major tourist attraction, able to accommodate more than 100,000 visitors a year. Trained guides will bring visitors on an interactive and informative journey that will include a history of Irish whiskey and its unique distilling process, tutored tasting sessions, a specific gin tour and the opportunity to produce and bottle their own gins. Commenting on the successful job, John McCorley, Director said, “It was a
spark, or other source of heat. “Also, the installation of internal lightning protection in addition to external protection was required to safeguard against potential explosive reactions.” A sophisticated process control system added to the complexities of the project, as did the building’s architecture. “There were a lot of architectural features that didn’t lend themselves to be serviceable, which meant onsite co-ordination was paramount,” said Stephen. “We met weekly and then fortnightly with the design team and closely collaborated with the main contractor, Corramore Construction, which helped build strong relationships between us. There was a lot of co-ordination and collaboration with Corramore who were great to work with. They implemented stringent Covid-19 measures and controls during the restrictions period which ensured the site was a safe environment to work in, with limited downtime due to these measures.” MECHANICAL The mechanical aspect of the project although smaller than the electrical

We are delighted to include this prestigious project to our portfolio. It illustrates how far the capability of our relatively young electrical division has developed. From small to large schemes, we now have the resources to scale up or down to deliver world-class installations – both mechanical and electrical.”
