Delivering Essential Infrastructure Without Disruption
Expanding hospital capacity without interrupting patient care.
St. Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny is a key HSE acute healthcare facility serving the south-east of Ireland. The development of its new 72-bed Ormond Wing was crucial, with the hospital needing to expand its capacity. But just as vital still was the requirement for the work to be done without causing interruption to clinical services.
Cross Electrical Services was appointed as the main electrical contractor, delivering this complex hospital electrical project in partnership with main contractor ESS over a 16-month term.
The St. Luke’s Kilkenny electrical project further deepened our experience with acute healthcare developments, demanding careful planning, close coordination, and strict adherence to healthcare standards throughout construction. Working within a fully operational hospital, Cross Electrical Services delivered:
- Medical Trunking
- Lighting & Emergency Lighting
- General Services
- Fire Alarm & Fire Damper Systems
- Containment
- LV Distribution
- Nurse Call System
- Security (CCTV, Access Control, Intruder Alarm)
- Lightning Protection
As with every live hospital electrical project, maintaining safe, uninterrupted hospital operations remained central to the delivery approach.
Completing the project demonstrated Cross Electrical Services’ ability to manage technically demanding healthcare installations with care, consistency and attention to detail. The completed electrical infrastructure now supports a modern patient care facility and reflects the dependable delivery that healthcare project managers, the HSE and leading main contractors require from specialist electrical services providers for critical hospital developments.
