Inchicore College of Further Education, Emmet Road, Dublin 8, D08 W9X6.
EXPP: The building has suffered from a lack of proper maintenance over the years, particularly to its roofs and high level glazing. The roofs that are proposed for remedial works are those that cover the Sports Hall (butterfly roof) and those over the Workshops plus the adjoining flat roof areas as identified in the attached drawings and record photographs. These works will increase the thickness of the roof build-up by approximately 210mm. The Sports Hall and Workshop roofs are low profile and are finished in standing seam copper panels. The panels, in turn, have been re-covered, inappropriately, in felt to seal leaks that have occurred in the underlying copper. Leaks have re-appeared. It is proposed to remove the felt and copper panels, remove and replace defective timbers and to upgrade the insulation and install air tightness membranes; all in accordance with Major Renovations Standards in Technical Guidance Document L 2022. The roofs will be finished with standing seam metal panels, coloured to match the original copper finish or in a zinc finish. It is also proposed to replace the roof glazing over the workshop areas. These works will increase the thickness of the roof build-up by approximately 210mm. The College is listed on the NIAH - Reg. No. 50080157, and it is not a Protected Structure.
