Project Completion – LWETB Training Centre, Connelly Barracks Campus, Longford
We are proud to announce the successful completion of the newly refurbished training centre for Longford and Westmeath Education and Training Board (LWETB) at the historic Connelly Barracks campus.
RER Electrical & Solar were appointed as the main electrical contractor, working in close collaboration with Elliott Properties Limited to deliver this modern, high-quality training facility.
The project involved a complete strip-out of all existing electrical fixtures and fittings, followed by a full electrical upgrade to create a modern and efficient learning environment. This facility will cater for 56 SOLAS electrical apprentices on the Longford site. Works included:
✔️ Complete electrical upgrade
✔️ Installation of new energy-efficient lighting systems with wireless switching, giving the client greater control to adjust lighting levels to suit their needs
✔️ Upgraded power distribution and containment
✔️ Data and communications infrastructure
✔️ Emergency lighting and fire alarm systems
The upgraded lighting system provides flexibility, improved energy performance, and adaptability across all training spaces.
A big thank you to all our staff & subcontractors involved in delivering this project safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard. Gaffney Electrical and Renewables
