Tyndall National Institute: HVAC and BMS Maintenance

Tyndall National Institute in Cork is one of Europe’s leading research centres, specialising in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) hardware research, commercialisation of technology and the education of next generation researchers. Tyndall has a critical mass of over 420 researchers, engineers, students and support staff. The Institute is sited in Cork City centre at the historic Lee Maltings complex beside the River Lee. The site comprises a number of listed structures and a new modern laboratory complex. The new building doubles the laboratory space available at Tyndall and provides state-of-the-art R&D facilities. The new building has a major new cleanroom for flexible semiconductor device fabrication, clean space for device packaging and test facilities to industrial standards. The Tyndall National Institute is a world-class facility and requires specialist service providers to maintain and develop a building with such high demands. Sirus has been providing specialist service to Tyndall since 2002.

The Result
