PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ADCO were contracted to undertake a complete refurbishment of Biotrin's manufacturing facilities in Sandyford. Works included clean room and cold store installations, production warehouse upgrades and full M&E fit-out.
Challenges Faced
- Installation of stainless steel underground services within the existing clean room facility proved difficult. Great care had to be taken to avoid damage to existing services whilst installing new services. in certain locations underpinning of existing main structure elements was required as a result of hitting mass bedrock in excavations.
- the projects intense programme was further complicated by long lead-in times on specialised materials and extensive fit-out works.
- Work was carried out and handed over in stages to coincide with the release of the clients new production lines.
- Owing to the close proximity of the neighbouring live production companies, works were carried outduring restricted working hours.
- During the civil works stage, constant noise and vibration monitoring were undertaken by ADCO to ensure there was no disruption or damage to neighbouring facilities.
Technologies
- All elements of the cold store fit-out were pre-fabricated allowing for very quick onsite installation.
- Walk-on ceilings were installed in all clean rooms and fitted with ATEX rated lights, electrical and HVAC installations.
Successes
- The completed project exceeded the client's expectations. Biotrin'sGeneral anager, Des O' Leary commended the ADCO team for its professionalism and the high standard of finish achieved.
- The project was completed on time and within budget with no reportable accidents.
- The good relationship built with this client has resulted in ADCO securing further contracts, including the development and implementation of a maintenance programme.
