Works involved the strip out of three retail units on the north side of the first floor of Mahon Point SC. The units were fully gutted and stripped of all mechanical and electrical services including the removal of internal mezzanines, removal of floor finishes and shop fronts. Internal fire rated blockwork walls dividing the units were also demolished. Full height partitions were erected at night time where the shop fronts were removed and used for full height advertising.
Once the demolition works were completed new full height dividing walls were constructed to break the three units into five smaller units. This included fire-proofing works, new entrances, adjustments to the mechanical and electrical installation as well as amendments to the sprinkler system.
All works took place while the remainder of the shopping centre continued with full operations. Material was removed at nighttime to reduce the impact on adjoining shop owners/traders. All material and deliveries were brought in and out through the rear service yard.
Works were completed in six weeks on time and within budget.
