Aer Lingus Operations Control Centre

This mission-critical facility involved the relocation of the Aer Lingus Operations Control Centre from Hangar 6 (Airside) to Shamrock House (Landside) within the Dublin Airport campus. The Operations Control Centre is a 24-Hour, 7-day operation, and the Works involved the installation of a new Generator to ensure continuity of supply. The conclusion of the Works involved a managed handover between both facilities without any downtime.
