Contract Scope: Mechanical services for office fit-out
Size:
- 197,000sq. ft. over 11 stories, Split in two.
- ft. retail on ground floor.
- Project: 4 & 5 Park Place
- Location: Hatch Street, Dublin.
- Approx Value: €1.1m.
- Main Contractor: Sisk
- Client: Lynskey Engineering
Scope of Work:
The project encompassed comprehensive mechanical services, with a focus on climate control and efficiency. The scope included:
- Full Shell and Core Works: Complete mechanical services installation for the building’s core and shell, setting a strong foundation for further fit-out stages.
- 2 Chillers: Installation of two chillers to manage the building’s cooling needs.
- 2 x 4 Pipe Multi-Function Heat Pumps: These units provided both heating and cooling capabilities, enhancing the building’s energy efficiency.
- Packaged Plant Room on Roof: A pre-fabricated plant room was installed on the roof to streamline operations and maintenance.
- Full Fit-Out of 500+ FCUs (Fan Coil Units) Cat A: The building was equipped with over 500 FCUs to ensure optimal climate control throughout the office spaces.
Key Deliverables:
The project’s key mechanical deliverables included:
- Gas Pipework: Installation of all necessary gas pipework to support the building’s heating systems.
- 4 Dry Risers: Essential for fire safety, ensuring water can be delivered to any floor.
- Heating and Cooling Pipework throughout the shell and core: Comprehensive installation of all necessary pipework for the building’s heating and cooling needs.
- Radiators installed in common areas: Ensuring adequate heating across the common spaces.
- UFH (Underfloor Heating) Manifolds: Providing efficient and evenly distributed heating.
- HTG (Heating), CHW (Chilled Water), and Condensates to 500+ FCUs: Connecting heating and cooling systems to the FCUs to maintain a comfortable environment. Condensate were provided to allow for safe removal of the FCU condense water.
- 2 Roof AHUs (Air Handling Units) including Runaround Coils:: Installed to manage air quality and ventilation throughout the building. The run around coils were provided to enhance the energy efficiency of the air handling units by recovering waste heat.
