Boston Scientific

Ardmac were tasked with completing a full interior fit-out for Boston Scientific in their newly constructed 15,000 sq. foot office space which is an extension to their existing facility. The project, located in Clonmel, included both CAT A and CAT B fit-out works, covering a range of areas such as meeting spaces, collaboration areas, huddle rooms, and an open plan office.

Boston Scientific sought a construction partner capable of delivering a high-end, high-quality finish. One of the project’s key features was the bespoke joinery and acoustic meeting pods which help to create a unique and functional workspace for Boston Scientific. Ardmac also applied floor finishes with exposed surfaces to add a modern and industrial feel to the office.

To combat reverberation sound in the office space, Ardmac installed acoustic baffles throughout the building. When sound waves hit the panel, they penetrate it, causing the fiberglass core to vibrate. This vibration creates friction, which converts the sound to heat. The sound absorption rate is typically between 90-100%, so acoustic baffles are an excellent way to reduce noise levels in open spaces.

Additionally, a new sprinkler system was installed as part of the fit-out works. The project also included the installation of a new four pipe coil system to provide efficient heating and cooling for the office space.

Ardmac also managed the addition of a new toilet block on the site. With sleek, modern design and state-of-the-art facilities. The block is spacious, well-lit and includes designated accessible toilets.

The project was completed on time and within budget, meeting the high standards set by the client, Boston Scientific. The comms room was handed over 1 month in advance of practical completion to allow the client to begin their IT build.

The engagement and flexibility of the client was pivotal in fast tracking activities on site. Boston Scientific was an exceptional partner on this fit out project. Their professionalism, attention to detail, commitment to quality, and dedication to achieving the project goals enabled a strong collaborative relationship that delivered project success.

We implemented our Last Planner lean approach to aid delivery on this project. By utilising weekly work-plan meetings and daily check-ins, Ardmac was able to identify and resolve potential issues and constraints before they escalated, we were able to improve productivity and overall project outcome. Our Last Planner system also facilitated better communication and coordination among team members, leading to a seamless construction process and successful project delivery.

The completed fit-out in Clonmel has created a modern and functional workspace for Boston Scientific, providing them with the facilities they need to thrive in their new office environment.
