introductionMichael McNamara & Co is one of Ireland’s leading construction companies with a workforce in excess of 500 people.

Our current turnover is approximately €504m, placing us in the top three building contractors in Ireland. We operate nationwide with offices in Dublin, Galway, Cork and Lisdoonvarna, Co Clare.

In addition to our traditional role of main contractor, we play a leading role in the management of Design-Build-Finance projects. We have the experience and the in-house facilities to undertake any traditional or turnkey project by whatever procurement method clients may require.

The diversity of our projects has been critical to our success. Not only a leader in the area of healthcare, our clients and portfolio of projects reflect all sectors of the building industry, spanning both the public and private sector. A large portion of our work is repeat business from satisfied clients.

We believe the foundation of our success lies in a commitment to understanding and meeting our clients’ requirements for safety, workmanship, on-time delivery and value-for-money.

Michael McNamara & Company has a proven reputation for delivering buildings of which we and our clients can be proud. The industry awards that we have received and our award winning buildings are a testimony to this.

In terms of innovation, we invest in the Research and Development of new products and have our own modern production facilities for precast concrete, pre-fabricated materials and building systems.

We see challenging and exciting times ahead for the construction business, and a continuing need for enterprise within it. As a mark of our commitment to new thinking, we have created and funded the Michael McNamara Chair of Construction Innovation at Trinity College Dublin.

introduction cont

Within McNamara, we recruit with care and apply our own operating system, ‘the McNamara Way’, to help consolidate our efforts around an enduring set of principles. We are proud of our people and they remain with us.

We place a great deal of emphasis on the planning and co-ordination of information, materials and resources. Every job is pre-planned in detail so that projects can be completed on time and within budget. The need for high competence in logistics will continue to increase as architects experiment, buildings incorporate more layers of technology, and environmental concerns demand new approaches. However ambitious and demanding the project, we are confident in our ability to deliver.

Our foremen are highly experienced and are able to deliver a wide range of architectural finishes to a high standard.

We have internal capacity to supply a range of non-

standard building elements. We have a 350,000 sq ft

Health and safety are critical issues in construction and good working practices essential. Our management systems are accredited to OH SAS 180001 (1999), ISO 9001 (2000) and ISO 14001 (2004).

introduction cont

Manufacturing Facility in the midlands, where we make our

own precast pre-fabricated kitchen and bathroom units.

We also manufacture wideslab flooring and precast

walling along with exclusive agencies for pre-fabricated

brick cladding and external wall cladding systems.

We manufacture a light weight precast internal wall panel

which is non load bearing and more durable than metal stud

partitions. The innovation systems have all the necessary

accreditation from the BBA and Irish Agreement Board.

Safeguarding the environment calls for attention to detail

on many fronts, including how we use energy and resources,

how we procure goods and services, and how we produce

and dispose of waste. We aim to operate at a level above the

standards required by Irish environmental and waste legislation.

Under our proposed environmental management

system every McNamara construction project will be

subject to environmental audit and will have its own,

site-specific action plan. We also aim to promote best

practices across the Irish construction industry as a whole.

Details:

Elm Park Development is a major mixed use development of residential and commercial units situated in a prime location in Dublin 4 which is currently at an advanced fit-out stage. The development is situated on a 14 acre sited bounded on one side by Elm park Golf course and on the other side by a sea front of Dublin Bay. The site is well served by a major artery route of the Merrion Road and by the adjacent suburban Dart line.

The development consists of two 8 story residential blocks of 336 high specification apartments, three 7 storey office blocks each of 10,000 sqm, private hospital / day care centre, hotel, conference centre, restaurant, bars, leisure centre and swimming pool and 100 Senior Citizen residential units.

The design ethos of the project is that of sustainable development with features including combined heat and power energy centre supplying energy to all buildings, natural ventilation to office blocks and apartments, energy saving design features, reduced energy costs, reduced Co2 emissions and the use of natural renewable materials in building construction. The development boasts a uniquely green and environmentally friendly parkland, with areas of planting, areas of hard landscaping and areas of special interest, with water features, glazed canopies, and specialised use buildings.

Elm Park DevelopmentMerrion Road, Dublin 4

Details cont:

Car and vehicle traffic is automatically channelled towards double height naturally ventilated basement car parking area with provision for 850 spaces which is beneath all of the buildings on site. Site traffic at surface level is restricted generally to emergency access only. The layout, design and construction of the development is focused on providing the complete living working environment.

The structures of the buildings themselves are formed using a mixture of in-situ reinforced concrete with precast slabs and precast concrete walls. Building facades are designed and constructed to a high specification and include glass curtain walling, timber cladding and exposed fair faced concrete. Building façade cladding design includes a system of natural ventilation louvers and vents to promote natural ventilation to apartments and office blocks thus saving energy cost and reducing CO2 emissions. Specification of building materials chosen to promote maximum use of sustainable and renewable materials .Office block design includes the unique double skin west facade which creates a natural ventilation lung eliminating the need for air conditioning.

Design also promotes maximum use of natural daylight and profiled fair faced concrete ceilings to distribute this natural light, control acoustics and even temperatures around the area.

Elm Park DevelopmentMerrion Road, Dublin 4

The energy centre located in the basement supplies hot water, heat and power to the entire development. This energy centre is sourced by renewable wood chip boilers and supplemented by natural gas. The combined heat and power units will generate electricity to feed all of the commercial buildings on site, with the provision to export surplus power to the national grid. Surplus heat, generated during this process will also be harnessed to maximum use, to heat water for the complex.

How we Added Value:

Use of natural ventilation eliminates the need for air conditioning, leading to significant reduction in building running costs. Favorable energy ratings, and reduced CO2 emmisions stemming from building materials and design, leading to increased property values.

Levels of Complexity:

Construction of double height basement to allow for future car stackers. Diversion of existing stream and construction of basement under stream. Difficulty of constructing development of this size , with multiple 7 story buildings, in a residential area of D4, with successful traffic management strategy.

Use of Innovative Solutions:

Natural ventilation to offices, apartments and car parks. Energy centre supplies heat and hot water to all of development, and energy to commercial buildings. Biomass boilers fueled by renewable wood chip. Exposed fairfaced concrete soffits to office buildings increases thermal efficiency. Full height glazing to office block floors to make maximum use of natural daylight and solar heat. Use of energy efficient light fittings. Use of prefabricated pods for kitchens and bathrooms leading to increased quality and reduced waste.
