This project involved the demolition of an existing service yard and ancillary carparking area to facilitate the construction of a 2-storey extension to the existing Ei Electronics light-industrial manufacturing facility in Shannon, Co. Clare. Works also included the provision of ancillary office space and Research and Development (R&D) areas with a new entrance foyer constructed over 3 no. levels resulting in an additional gross floor area of 9,844m². The majority of the remaining footprint consists of a production area, with 2 no. loading bays and associated intake and outgoing zones.

The 2-storey production area is designed on a 24m span grid to suit assembly lines and in this instance, the long span and heavy loads presented significant deflection and vibration challenges. All areas of the facility were constructed on piled foundations and a fully suspended, reinforced concrete in-situ slab. The overall structural stability of the building utilised 4 no. strategically located, reinforced concrete stair/lift cores. Other works included the reconfiguration and extension of an existing car park to the south of the proposed building to provide 75 no. additional spaces and the construction of a new car park to provide 44 no. spaces including accessible spaces and set-down areas.
