This Interconnector project, in Great Island power station in County Wexford, is one of several planned & in progress throughout Ireland, the UK, and Mainland Europe, with a view to interconnecting supply and usage of electricity. It will connect Ireland, via underground & seabed cables, to the UK and facilitate the flow of electricity, whereby either side can supply excess or acquire shortfall in supply, as needed.
Apart from the weathering and aesthetics, the Clients’ requirements focused on 3 main elements: air seal, emc shielding and acoustics, which required special consideration from pricing through to design and installation.
As with all projects, the key to a successful site installation begins with design. Both Crown and our external designers experience of roofing and cladding systems were paramount in getting this project to site and delivered on time to the Client, meeting or exceeding all their expectations.
Throughout the design process, we engaged with our Client so they were up to date on progress and aware of any pitfalls or potential risks, which were mitigated early, to avoid delays on site. We worked closely with our external designers to ensure compliance with manufacturers recommendations and engaged with our site teams to ensure buildability while ensuring project compliance.
Our work on this project was shortlisted for the Irish Construction Excellence (ICE) Award 2024, Specialist Services Contract €3m – €5m.
