Daniel Mihoc Construction: the Visual Control Tower Dublin Project
In the realm of construction and building projects, the success of a project often depends on the seamless collaboration between various specialists, each contributing their unique skill set. A prime example of such a successful endeavor is the construction of the Visual Control Tower at Dublin Airport, an award-winning infrastructure project. A key player in this project was Daniel Mihoc Construction (DMC), a company acclaimed for its network of proficient professionals and its unwavering commitment to delivering top-quality outcomes.
Project Overview
The project, completed in March 2019, involved the construction of a new Visual Control Tower (VCT) at Dublin Airport. The tower, now the tallest occupied building on the island of Ireland at 86.9m, comprises three separate but integrated building elements: a control cab and associated elements, the cab supporting shaft, and a base building. The base building accommodates staff facilities, electronic systems, and mechanical plant space to control the building environment. The project was awarded the Building of the Year at the Building & Architect of the Year Awards 2021 and the Engineering Project of the Year at the Irish Building and Design Awards 2021.
DMC's Role in the Project
DMC's role in this project was significant. Tasked with joinery, paving, and providing general operatives, DMC also played a crucial role in the snagging process. This broad range of responsibilities showcases DMC's versatility and capability to manage various facets of a construction project.
Joinery and Paving
DMC's joinery work was pivotal in ensuring the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the building. Joinery, which involves crafting the wooden components of a building, demands a high level of precision and craftsmanship. DMC's team of skilled professionals ensured that this intricate aspect was executed flawlessly. Similarly, the paving work carried out by DMC added to the overall finish of the building, creating accessible and attractive outdoor spaces.
General Operatives and Snagging Process
The provision of general operatives by DMC epitomizes the company's ability to supply a large workforce of skilled professionals. These operatives were involved in various aspects of the construction process, providing the manpower necessary to ensure the project's timely completion. Lastly, DMC's involvement in the snagging process underscores the company's commitment to quality and attention to detail.
Conclusion
