Central Bank of Ireland – NS50 Grease Management System Wall Quay, North Wall, Dublin, D01 F7X3

Project Overview

The Central Bank of Ireland required a high-capacity grease management solution to support a major staff catering facility within their landmark North Wall headquarters. As a new building with extensive basement infrastructure, the design brief demanded full compliance with IS EN 1825 Parts 1 & 2, long-term odour prevention, and a maintenance strategy capable of working at Basement Level –2, where conventional access for pump-outs was not feasible.

Key Requirements

• Full compliance with IS EN 1825-1 & 1825-2
• Accommodation of very high food production volumes
• Odour-free operation
• Long-term ease of servicing
• Overcome access restrictions to Basement Level –2
• Safe, non-disruptive pump-out method
• Deliver a large-scale NS50 system despite size constraints during installation

Solution Delivered

1. Custom-Designed BIOTRAP® NS50 Greasetrap

Taylormade designed, manufactured, installed and now maintains a 20,000 litre NS50 BIOTRAP® system specifically engineered for the Central Bank’s catering load.

2. Modular Fabrication for Basement Access

Due to the size of the NS50, the unit could not physically fit through the building’s access routes.

Our engineering team redesigned the system as a four-piece modular unit, transported the sections individually, and welded the entire tank together in situ in Basement Level –2.

This eliminated construction constraints without compromising structural integrity or performance.

3. Innovative Access Chute for Safe Pump-Outs

Servicing a 20,000 L system at Basement –2 posed a significant challenge. To overcome this, Taylormade designed a dedicated external access chute, allowing waste disposal contractors to insert the suction pipe into basement 2 via this access channel.

• Operators open a secure access door at ground level
• The suction hose is lowered down the chute
• The full 20,000 L tank can be emptied safely
• Zero disruption to staff or building operations
• No pump-out vehicles need access to Basement –2

This solution has become a benchmark for deep-basement grease management installations.

4. Installation & Commissioning

• The modular system was assembled and welded on site in 2021
• All pipework, access points, safety guards, controls and venting were integrated by Taylormade
• The system was pressure-tested, commissioned, and handed over with full documentation

Performance & Results (2021–Present)

Since installation:

• Zero odour reports
• Zero leaks or blockages
• Zero performance failures
• 100% compliance with IS EN 1825
• 100% successful pump-outs via the access chute
• No interference with building occupants or operations

The Central Bank facility management team have noted the simplicity of servicing and the reliability of the system despite extremely high daily catering volumes.

Key Benefits Delivered

• Engineered for heavy-duty commercial kitchen demand
• Modular construction overcame major access limitations
• Safe, secure pump-out method with no operational impact
• Fully compliant with IS EN 1825 Parts 1 & 2
• Long-term odour and leakage prevention
• Proven reliability in a mission-critical national facility
