Dublin to Athlone gas pipeline

Extending Ireland’s natural gas pipeline has brought the benefits of gas to many more communities. Dornan completed the electrical, instrumentation, civil and mechanical works for six above-ground installations, with a fenced-off spread to receive gas from the 30″ main pipeline supplied at 82 bar, reducing to 3 bar for supply to domestic and commercial customers.

Cork School of Music

The Cork School of Music is unusual in the education world in that it teaches at all levels, from primary through to postgraduate. Dornan was delighted to undertake the mechanical work on this spectacular new building on the College’s old site by the River Lee, installing HVAC systems for tuition rooms, two auditoria, a restaurant, a library, offices and all domestic services. One of the main challenges was to ensure that all services run as quietly as possible.
