Judges described Silken Thomas as a “fantastic entry and a well-engineered project”. Michael & Simon were responsible for relocating and updating the building’s mechanical systems to reduce running costs efficiently and effectively along with expanding its mechanical services for further guest accommodation. The client couldn’t be happier with the result and commented: “The team stands out among many tradespeople as they value our time and respond to our urgency.” The panel was also won over by the contractor’s dedication, organisation and high standard of service delivered in the heart of Kildare.

Great execution of a project posing many challenges impressed the panel. The mechanical installation at Barnwell Point includes 235 apartments and 12 townhouses. Heating is generated by gas boiler systems and each unit is fitted with a heat meter allowing the building management company to provide individual tenant billing and other diagnostics on the HIU operation. Challenges included a tight timeline and changes in the CHP system’s design and supplier halfway through the work. The judges also recognised McGuinness’ innovative approach, with the plant room and heating pipework for the car park designed and prefabricated at the contractor’s warehouse.
