The centre operates 24 hours a day, year-round, and houses all emergency response vehicles and equipment for runway, taxiway and aircraft parking apron incidents. It also houses the incident coordination and control centre as well as all training, office and welfare facilities for the on-duty staff. Planning for the extension included development of detailed working procedures for everything from access to the site to construction activities on site and phasing of the works, to ensure that there would be no risk of any impairment of the emergency services teams at any stage.

The extension itself provided space for new training, welfare, canteen and administration facilities for the emergency services teams and was successfully integrated into the existing centre.

Located on the ground floor of the Pier A link building, the immigration control facility was designed to improve the operational efficiency of the immigration control process and to reduce waiting times for passengers. It was also essential that it maintained separation of Pier A (200 series gates) and Pier D (100 series gates) passengers up to the point of presentation to immigration control to prevent cross flows and congestion.

The project also included the relocation and fit-out of a pilot’s briefing room for Aer Lingus pilots, along with a technical services area for Dublin Airport Authority technical services unit.
