Mater Hospital Emergency Ward Block Eccles Street

The Mater Hospital’s emergency ward block project, an extension of the existing building, includes a nine-story wing with 98 new beds, including 16 ICU beds and the new National Isolation Unit. Completed in 2 years under COVID Emergency Legislation, it features the NIU on the ground floor, a dedicated ICU ward on Level 3, an isolation ward on Level 6, and acute wards with a specialized dialysis unit on Levels 2, 4, and 5. Levels 7 and 8 house plant rooms.

 

Pinnacle’s Scope of Work:

 

Working on the Mater Hospital, Dublin project, Pinnacle Infotech managed 3D modeling, clash coordination, and different construction drawings for this BIM services project.

Challenges Faced and Resolution:

 

Challenge and Solution 1: The client wanted to reduce the type of hangers as they prefabricated the hanger in their shop. Pinnacle arranged the cable tray in such a way that minimized the type of hangers.

Challenge and Solution 2: As per inputs, there were too many bends in cable tray routing. Pinnacle rerouted the tray in such a way that it minimized fittings, resulting in cost optimization and minimized material loss.

Challenge and Solution 3: : The plant room was too congested, and it was difficult to make a way for maintenance. Pinnacle rerouted the ducts and pipes to make a suitable path for access and maintenance.

 

Pinnacle's Value Addition:

 

Working on the project for one of the best hospitals in Ireland, we applied our expertise in BIM services for hospitalsto drive the best results in delivering 3D modeling services, MEP design services, and Clash Coordination services. Here are the value additions offered by Pinnacle:

1. In some shaft areas, containment could not be accommodated properly. Pinnacle arranged the trays in tiering so that it could accommodate within the shaft.

2. MEP inputs changed several times. The project team coordinated with the client and other stakeholders several times to produce the final coordinated model.

3. We used PICV (Pressure Independent Control Valve) for pipe sizes less than 40mm diameter instead of multiple valves to minimize material cost.

4. We sliced through the slab and created a space to house the P-Trap for the AHU's condensate pipe, as a rubber pad was utilized in place of a vibration isolator.
