The Mall & Church Avenue Social Housing Retrofit Programme

In 2020, SOLA completed a comprehensive housing regeneration through a deep retrofit project involving five semi-detached social housing properties at The Mall & Church Avenue, Templemore, Co. Tipperary, on behalf of Tipperary County Council.

Originally constructed in 1966, these properties had fallen into severe disrepair, becoming vacant and derelict following years of disuse. To address urgent local social housing demand, Tipperary County Council strategically acquired the properties from the Office of Public Works (OPW) between 2016 and 2019.

SOLA was subsequently awarded the contract to undertake the complete restoration and energy transformation of these derelict structures.

The project was developed with several key objectives:
• To renovate and return five vacant properties to active use as much-needed social housing.
• To support Tipperary County Council's climate action and housing objectives by improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions across its housing stock.
• To achieve exceptional building energy performance through a deep retrofit approach.
• To complete the entire project within a challenging six-month programme due to urgent housing demand.

A detailed assessment of each property was undertaken before works commenced. This allowed SOLA to develop a tailored retrofit strategy for each dwelling, ensuring that all  measures worked together to maximise energy performance, occupant comfort and long-term sustainability.

A fabric-first approach formed the foundation of the project. Extensive upgrades included external wall insulation, cavity wall insulation, floor insulation, airtightness improvements, high-performance windows and doors, and demand-controlled ventilation systems. These measures dramatically reduced heat loss and created the ideal environment for renewable heating technologies to operate at maximum efficiency.

To complete the transformation, Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan Air-to-Water 5kW heat pumps were installed in all five homes, replacing outdated fossil fuel heating systems with a low-carbon, renewable heating solution capable of delivering exceptional efficiency and comfort.

The results were outstanding. All five properties achieved a remarkable improvement from BER G to BER A3, delivering substantial reductions in energy consumption and carbon emissions while creating warm, healthy and comfortable homes for future tenants.

The visual transformation of the development was equally significant. What had once been a row of derelict properties became a showcase for sustainable social housing regeneration, enhancing the overall streetscape and demonstrating the potential of deep retrofit to revitalise existing communities.

The success of the project extended beyond the original five homes. The quality of the completed development demonstrated the value of deep retrofit to Tipperary County Council and subsequently led to the refurbishment of two additional properties on the same street, further extending the positive impact of the project and creating a legacy for the community.

Today, residents benefit from exceptionally comfortable homes with low running costs, excellent indoor air quality and significantly reduced environmental impact, while Tipperary County Council benefits from modern, future-proofed housing stock that will continue to serve the community for decades to come.

Commercial Sawmill

The scope of works of the project was to design, build, install and deliver a working solution for a log grading line at the intake side of a large commercial sawmill. Logs coming from forestry plantations would enter the site, be weighed in and stockpiled. These logs would need to be loaded onto the grading line, where they would need to be sorted by their length, size in diameter, and straightness. Other deterministic features would be flare at the base of the log. This is where the tree would grow from the ground and would have a large tapering bush as it entered the root system. So that the logs could be correctly specified for production and that they would fit through the mill on a given setting, logs within a particular parameter band would have to be grouped together. Machinery was purchased from vendors for debarking the logs and butt reducing or flare reducing. These machines were bought as machine-only with no control system. The mechanical installation of the line, all the conveyors, waste conveyors, scraper chains, oiler systems, delivery systems, turning systems, stepping systems for the logs, were all purchased the same way. Our scope was to build a control system to tie everything together and allow the line to work in a semi-automatic slash automatic manner. We chose a complete Mitsubishi control solution from start to finish. This included all the inverters, FR-E800 series mainly, with some FR-A800 series and FR-F800 series, IQR-based PLC, six remote I/O stations using Mitsubishi slice I/O. We used Ethernet IP as the communication protocol for the remote I/O stations, and we used CC-Link IE Field Basic for the inverter control protocol. We used the Mitsubishi Max SCADA system as the main interface to run the complete line. We used communications from the IQR to talk to some other equipment on the line, such as density scanners. And we also supplied and installed and integrated with the Mitsubishi PLC a 3D Keens scanner, which built a 3D profile of the log and allowed the PLC then to decide which route that log would take through the line. Outside of the scope of the factory automation products, we supplied a 2,500 amp LVS panel designed around a full Mitsubishi solution, and also all of the switchgear supplying the various subdistribution boards with a Mitsubishi LVS solution.
