Black & White Engineering Delivers MEP Services for Ireland’s First New Acute Hospital in 20 Years

Black & White Engineering’s Dublin team has played a central role in the delivery of Bon Secours Hospital Limerick, Ireland’s first new acute hospital in almost two decades. Providing full MEP engineering services, the team supported the design and delivery of a €213 million healthcare facility that brings advanced clinical services and sustainability standards to the Mid-West region.

Black & White Engineering’s Dublin team has played a key role in MEP engineering in Ireland, supporting the design and delivery of the newly opened Bon Secours Hospital in Ballysimon, Limerick.

A Landmark for Irish Healthcare

This landmark €213 million facility is the first new acute hospital built in the country in nearly two decades. The facility, which is opening in phases, represents a major investment in Irish healthcare and will provide advanced medical services to communities across the Mid-West region.

Black & White’s Role in Delivery

From concept to completion, the project team, Black & White provided full mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEP) engineering services, ensuring that the hospital meets the highest standards of clinical functionality, sustainability, and patient comfort.

The hospital includes:

  • A cardiac catheterisation lab — the first private facility of its kind in the Mid-West.
  • Specialties in surgery, cardiology, respiratory medicine, neurology, ophthalmology, dermatology, and diagnostic imaging.

Setting a New Benchmark in Private Healthcare

Alan Sharp, Group CEO of Bon Secours Health System, described the hospital as a “milestone for Irish healthcare,” while Jason Kenny, CEO of Bon Secours Hospital Limerick, highlighted its cutting-edge technology and the positive impact it will have on healthcare delivery in the region.

Reflecting on the project, James Reilly, Area Director at Black & White Engineering, said:

“We’re incredibly proud of our Dublin team’s contribution to this transformative project. This hospital sets a new benchmark for private healthcare in Ireland, and we’re honoured to have played a part in its realisation.”

The completion of Bon Secours Hospital Limerick demonstrates the important role Black & White’s Dublin office continues to play in supporting critical infrastructure projects through MEP engineering across Ireland and in contributing to improved healthcare outcomes for local communities.
