This project involved constructing a 50-bed two-storey ward and a 25-bed single-storey ward at St. Camillus Hospital, Limerick, to enhance elderly residential healthcare in line with National Quality Standards and the Health Act 2007.
The new extension, located at the rear and requiring the demolition of an existing building, underwent initial enabling works to divert underground services.
Due to the site’s complexity and the need to maintain multiple services, construction was phased. The two-storey block was built first to accommodate patients and staff during the demolition.
The foundations featured deep-fill concrete trenches, with a superstructure of load-bearing masonry walls, precast concrete slabs, and some structural steel elements.
At PUNCH, we understand the value of education. That’s why we support our staff who wish to undertake further education and training. We encourage staff members to maintain their Continuous Professional Development (CPD) accreditations with Engineers Ireland. We also continue to offer training in sustainable design and construction through seminars, in-house lectures, and external training programmes. We promote the achievement of professional titles with institutions such as Engineers Ireland, the Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland, the Institute of Structural Engineers, and the Institute of Civil Engineers.
