Development description
Expp: proposal to locate an e- house at the dublin bus summerhill bus depot. The proposal includes for a single storey e-house (electrical house or power-house, which are walk-in assembled outdoor enclosures to house low to medium voltage switchgear and secondary electrical equipment), to front of the above described site, which will have the following features: 14,850 x 3,830mm single storey 57m² steel structure (prefabricated), metal cladded and insulated to meet current relevant regulations and technical requirements, fixed onto a purpose-built reinforced concrete base slab. To be located at the most north-eastern corner of the site, beside the recently approved esb sub-station and mv switch room (planning reference n°3434/22 with final grant of permission dated 09.06.2022). It is to be painted/powder coated with similar colour as the newly adjacent esb substation, in order to keep any visual impact to the minimum. Works: installation and setting up: the installation on site and the setting up of works must be carried out always maintaining reasonable workable distance from the existing and in-construction buildings and installations, in order to prevent any possible accident or damage, either to people of property. Materials delivery and storage: once installation and setting up has been implemented, delivery and storage of materials should be organised and planned reasonably in advance and its movements and placed of storage be established so that no damage or interference is caused to the existing surrounding constructions or it would be minimised as much as possible. Site maintenance and site works: due to the enclosed nature of the area that the proposed works are to be located and its proximity to the newly approved esb substation and bus yard, now being built, the site is to be maintained in a tidy and organised manner at all times, so not to provide any context for accidents or loss on any kind. Existing boundary walls: although the existing boundary walls that forms the north and east boundaries: of the site are not part of the proposal and it they are not envisaged to be modified in any way by this proposal, care is to be taken and protection is to be provided to it during works so as to prevent any damage to any part of the said stone wall. Once works would have been finalised, any temporary protection installed is to be carefully removed and area thoroughly cleaned before hand-over. Concrete slab: the concrete slab will serve as a base where to fix the steel structure of the e-house and is to be constructed as per structural engineer's details and specifications. It is worth noting that the proposed slab is to be constructed in an existing fully concrete paved external bus yard. It would be the only element of the proposal that might be considered to have a more permanent quality. However, it is to be so designed as to provide a reasonably easy and clean removal as possible (having consideration to its nature). No part of that concrete slab is to affect the existing boundary walls or its foundations in any way. Steel structure: steel structure to be constructed structural engineer's details and specifications, will be fully removable and is considered to be fully reversible. In any event, care is to be had in its installation so that the existing boundary stone wall would not be affected by it. Also, no amount of anti-corrosive paint to be applied can damage the said stone wall during construction. Cladding: the steel structure is to be cladded externally with selected metal cladding and in order to minimise any visual impact and to be consistent with was approved on the application ref. N°3434/22 for the adjacent esb substation, the new e-house is to be painted with similar colour. No spillage is to be allowed while painting. Finishes: roof and rainwater goods are to be also in aluminium, painted with matching colour as described above. Hand-over: works are to be received by client once properly finished, together with a cleaned site and demonstration that no damage has affected the surrounding structures or the boundary walls.
