Connolly Memorial & Tallaght Satellite Hospitals

As part of the New Children’s Hospital project two new paediatric outpatients and urgent care centres were constructed.

MedProGas negotiated the contracts and worked in tandem with the Mercury Engineering Mechanical team to expedite the works to successfully meet the Client Programme on both projects. Construction Programme – 22 months.

There was an element of tie-in to existing house supplies for both projects. All tie-in works were completed in conjunction with the hospital management / TSD with MedProGas actively engaging and working with all parties to ensure works were completed without any impact on the existing campus supplies.

The project comprised of the following;

A new emergency care unit with 2 triage rooms, a modern well equipped resuscitation room, a designated area for minor injuries and procedures and 16 single examination and treatment rooms. The unit will provide 24-hour emergency care.
A new paediatric outpatient department with 13 consultation rooms for appointments in general and specialist paediatrics including neurodisability and orthopaedics.
A new radiology unit for x-rays and Ultrasound examination.
A new Medical Forensic Examination suite and clinic for the CHI Child Sexual Assault Counselling and Therapy services.

MedProGas actively engaged with the MEL and design team to ensure that all medical gas services were developed and installed to meet Client requirements as the project progressed. Design development and assistance was provided to the team and the Client at all times. The complete hospital was handed over in September 2021 with all medical gas systems commissioned and signed off to HTM 0201 requirements. When fully operational it is expected that this new facility in CHI in Tallaght will provide up to 17,000 additional outpatient opportunities and will provide care to more than 30,000 Emergency care presentations annually.
