Blasket Interpretive Centre

Project overview

The Blasket Centre Ionad an Bhlascaoid in Dun Chaoin Co Kerry is an interpretative centre that focuses on the heritage and history of the Blasket Islands.

The stunning OPW building was originally opened in 1993. Under this project Flesk Electrical delivered a modern Audio Visual installation and a new lighting installation throughout the building. In addition a new main entrance lobby was constructed as part of the works.

New electrical sub distribution was installed along with the following services

  • Containment
  • Power
  • Internal and External lighting
  • Data
  • AC
  • CCTV
  • Security services
  • Access control

These upgrades support the visitor experience and long term operation of this important coastal heritage centre.

Common questions about our electrical project delivery

Yes. A large amount of our work is delivered in live schools, hospitals, offices and venues. We programme night works, phased isolations and clear hand-back of clean areas each day.

We typically deliver LV distribution, lighting and emergency lighting alongside controls, metering, BMS interfaces, fire alarm and security systems as a coordinated package.

Full testing & verification, RECI certification, emergency lighting and fire alarm records, as-built drawings, asset registers and digital O&M manuals to suit the project.

Yes, we allow for spare capacity and accessible containment so future additions (extra circuits, EV chargers, AV or ICT) can be installed with minimal disruption.
