Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board
Mr. Phelim Devine:
I can pick up that question and clarify it. The automated smoke vents are all installed. Most of the wiring for them is in, although it is still a work in progress. The last phase of that is what we call integrated commissioning. It is where all the electrical systems are brought back and connected to the building management system that powers it and tells it how to act. If a smoke detector is activated or there is a fire situation, then they automatically open on sensors. That last bit of programming work does not get done until the last three or four months of the project. Most of the electrical wiring, all the conduit wiring and all the smoke vents are all installed.
