Ericsson Athlone CHP Project

Duration: May 2012 – March 2013
Approx Value: 1,000,000.00

This project encompassed the complete design and build of a combined heat and power (CHP –2MWe ) installation for the Ericsson campus in Athlone.

The works consisted of a full turnkey installation including the following:

All design works for the project including Electrical, Mechanical & Civil Works
Establishing the final site natural gas load and undertaking all works associated with the application for an increased supply from Bord Gais Networks.
Participation in joint discussions with the ESB to ensure compliance and agreement was reached in the operational interface of the CHP electrical power system with the ESB Grid, as defined in ESB document Ref.G10/94.
All construction works to ensure the project was completed to the required standards and within the agreed programme.
Full interface between the new CHP and the existing site Building Energy Management System (BEMS).
Testing, commissioning and sign off in accordance with all pertinent standards.

The primary purpose of the CHP facility is to provide low cost energy to the site through provision of electricity, LTHW for heating and HVAC systems. A secondary purpose of the CHP facility is to provide a future potential heat supply for an absorption chiller.

The electrical generation output of the CHP provides 2MW of electrical power. The CHP unit under normal conditions will provide the main power source to the campus with the ESB supply topping up for extra capacity as/when required.

The LTHW from the CHP is introduced to the existing the heating header as a lead boiler arrangement and all required alterations to the existing hydraulic arrangements and BMS controls were carried out to achieve this.

The overall project was very successful and the CHP has been operational since 5th March 2013.

RTE

Burlington Engineering have carried out a number of very successful contracts for RTE in recent years including the upgrading of various heating systems and the replacement of old plant with newer, more energy efficient equipment.

As a 24hr mission critical organisation RTE require contractors with the resources and expertise required to carry out works on "live" equipment without interfering with the normal operation of critical services.

Burlington Engineering have a proven track record in this regard and we would have no hesitation in recommending them for similar projects.

We have worked regularly with Burlington over the past 10 years on a number of medium to small sized projects. These varied from public to private developments both commercial and domestic.

Burlington currently maintains a number of buildings with which we were involved including those where they did not do the original installation work. We have had positive feedback from our clients with regard to this aspect of their service.

We have always found Burlington to be proactive and responsive in their dealings with us with a positive attitude towards projects and clients.
