We are excited to have commenced work on the St Patrick’s Gathering Space – a new project for another return client, Dilworth Trust Board.
This 1100m2 Jasmax-designed building on the Dilworth Senior Campus features a nine-metre-high main nave capable of seating 765 people, plus a minor chapel, kitchen, office and amenities.
Its main architectural feature, and the most challenging aspect from an engineering point of view, is the shiplap-clad dual-plane raking ceiling. Supported by structural steel rafters with a vast 22m span and 900mm-deep welded beams, it has multiple valleys and ridges across the width of the nave, so the potential for design clashes and construction sequence risks would have been high without the benefit of Cassidy’s building information modelling (BIM) capability. Our BIM team have created a detailed virtual model of the project to work out the most efficient construction methodology and identify in advance where issues might arise during installation of services. This proactive approach saves our clients time and money and produces a better-looking result.
Despite the discovery of asbestos-contaminated material and a large quantity of fractured basalt rock during excavation, work is tracking ahead of programme for completion in May 2025.
