Electrical training apprentices could install anti-entrapment systems
Electrical training apprentices could go on to install automated window systems with anti-entrapment features, such as those which have been fitted in a new ten million euro (£9 million) 50-bed rest home on the site of the Harold’s Cross Hospice in Dublin.
The 2,726 square-metre hospice, which provides palliative care for terminally-ill patients and rheumatology rehabilitation, was designed by architects John L Griffith and Partners.
Peter Connolly, regional sales manager for WindowMaster in Ireland, explained that the firm supplied and installed the complete system including the actuators, the power supplies and the interfaces at the hospice, which was constructed by BAM.
“It was vital that the windows should reduce the risk of damage to frail fingers should they become trapped and the system has been carefully tested to ensure that it works,” he said.
Windowmaster is part of the VKR Group, which was founded by Villum Kann Rasmussen in 1969.
