Royal Hospital Kilmainham (RHK) is an iconic landmark, located in Dublin, Ireland. Built in 1690, this building cared for veterans from the Battle of the Boyne as well as serving as the Garda headquarters for 20 years, after which it became home to the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA).

We have delivered several schemes with RHK since 2001, including hydraulic lift replacement works, fire, security and gallery lighting upgrades, installation of the new arts lift and a variety of office refurbishment works. Additionally, we provided building services upgrades to the five-level North Range - the development's event space. These works included the full upgrade of fire, lighting, emergency lighting, security, heating and ventilation systems throughout the area.

"Since 2001 we have worked closely with the Office of Public Works to deliver various schemes to this hugely exciting, iconic landmark. We are delighted to see how this historic structure is developing." Derry Kearney, Partner.
