PROJECT
QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY BELFAST, ONE ELMWOOD
attended a series of meetings between various contractors to discuss potential issues to overcome these challenges. INNOVATION Efficiency and sustainability were important factors for the build, and NUGENT utilized modern methods of construction, design for manufacture and assembly, off-site fabrication and lean construction techniques for the project delivery. The MEP Engineering Specialists were also responsible for the electrical installation. To reduce carbon footprint, waste and time on the project, NUGENT’s OSM team at their Pomeroy HQ designed, planned, manufactured and pre-assembled the components prior to arriving on site. The prefabricated units were stored in NUGENT’s factory, tested and commissioned before they arrived on site, providing the highest quality service by the
team of engineers and technicians. Alongside providing complex MEP services, NUGENT supplied Building Information Modeling (BIM) Level 2 and services coordination for One Elmwood. ICONIC BUILDING NUGENT are delighted with the installation delivered at the new landmark in Belfast. Operations Director, Richard Gilmour commented, “The Student Union has always been a historic building for students in Belfast and One Elmwood certainly will be too. As a company we are privileged that our team of experts delivered our MEP services for the iconic building. It was fantastic to see current QUB students involved with the project through regular site visits”. NUGENT and Felix O’Hare have had a successful working relationship through delivering multiple projects, and One Elmwood certainly sits high in their
portfolios. NUGENT Mechanical Contracts Manager, Eamon Holland said, “The project has been highly rewarding from the pre-construction stage right through to handover. Felix O’Hare was an exceptional main contractor to work alongside for this project. From the beginning of Covid, Felix O’Hare was on top of Health and Safety ensuring the project teams were safe. We wish the students and staff all the best in their new facilities”.
