The project was commissioned by Dublin Port in collaboration with Dunwoody & Dobson, with Darmody Architecture serving as the appointed architects. Together, the team worked to transform The Substation into a modern, functional, and safe environment that reflects both the heritage of the site and the needs of its visitors. ACF’s role was central in ensuring that the design vision was translated into a high-quality, durable construction outcome.

Delivery of the project required a full-cycle construction solution, encompassing planning, site preparation, structural works, fitout, and final commissioning. Acting as both Main Contractor and PSCS, ACF coordinated all aspects of the build, including design integration, subcontractor management, and strict adherence to health and safety regulations. This comprehensive approach guaranteed that every stage of the project was executed to the highest standards, ensuring both compliance and excellence in delivery.

The successful completion of The Substation project highlights ACF’s ability to manage complex refurbishments while introducing innovative systems that set new benchmarks in quality and safety. By combining advanced acoustic technology with meticulous project management, ACF delivered a space that is not only visually striking but also functionally superior. This achievement reinforces ACF’s reputation as a trusted partner for clients seeking cutting-edge construction solutions in Ireland.
