Taylormade Greasetrap Solutions

Project OverviewThe 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 RequirementsFull compliance with IS EN 1825-1 & 1825-2Accommodation of very high food production volumesOdour-free operationLong-term ease of servicingOvercome access restrictions to Basement Level –2Safe, non-disruptive pump-out methodDeliver a large-scale NS50 system despite size constraints during installationSolution Delivered1. Custom-Designed BIOTRAP® NS50 GreasetrapTaylormade 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 AccessDue 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-OutsServicing 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 levelThe suction hose is lowered down the chuteThe full 20,000 L tank can be emptied safelyZero disruption to staff or building operationsNo pump-out vehicles need access to Basement –2This solution has become a benchmark for deep-basement grease management installations.4. Installation & CommissioningThe modular system was assembled and welded on site in 2021All pipework, access points, safety guards, controls and venting were integrated by TaylormadeThe system was pressure-tested, commissioned, and handed over with full documentationPerformance & Results (2021–Present)Since installation:Zero odour reportsZero leaks or blockagesZero performance failures100% compliance with IS EN 1825100% successful pump-outs via the access chuteNo interference with building occupants or operationsThe 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 DeliveredEngineered for heavy-duty commercial kitchen demandModular construction overcame major access limitationsSafe, secure pump-out method with no operational impactFully compliant with IS EN 1825 Parts 1 & 2Long-term odour and leakage preventionProven reliability in a mission-critical national facility

Case Study: Google – Watermarque Building, DublinBIOTRAP® NS35 Grease Management System + Grey Water Holding Tank + Lifting PumpProject OverviewGoogle required a high-performance grease management solution for a new staff kitchen in the Watermarque Building, Dublin. The kitchen produces approximately 2,000 meals per day, creating significant volumes of FOG-laden wastewater. Compliance with Irish Water discharge limits and elimination of odour risk were key priorities. The installation location—a basement car park plant area—required a compact, robust and easily maintainable system.Client RequirementsFull Irish Water FOG complianceZero malodours migrating into office or basement levelsSystem sized for high-volume commercial cateringMinimal maintenance requirementsEquipment suitable for basement location with pumped dischargeRapid installation with no disruption to building operationsSolution DeliveredTaylorMade Greasetrap Solutions supplied and installed a complete BIOTRAP® system, including:BIOTRAP® NS35 Greasetrap (stainless steel)Grey-water holding tankCommercial lifting pump systemFull pipework connection, venting and commissioningSecure TROAX steel cage for plant protectionThe BIOTRAP® NS35 was selected due to:Its proven performance in high-volume commercial kitchensSimple basement installation (no odour issues, no internal moving parts)Quarterly emptying requirement — reducing operational costEase of long-term servicing for the facilities teamCoordination & InstallationTaylorMade coordinated directly with the Principal Contractor, building management, and kitchen designers throughout the project.Plant access and pipe routing were pre-planned in BIMAll works were completed in a single daySystem commissioned and handed over with zero disruption to building operationsPerformance & ResultsThe system was installed in 2019 and has now operated for several years with no malodours, no blockages and zero compliance issues. There have been:0 call-outs0 operational failures0 reported odour incidentsGoogle and their consulting engineers provided extremely positive feedback on the performance and maintainability of the installation. As a result, TaylorMade have since been specified for four additional Google buildings in Dublin.Key Benefits DeliveredFull Irish Water complianceNo odour migration into office spacesReduced maintenance (4 pump-outs per year)Reliable basement installation with long service lifeProven multi-year performance with zero issuesStandardised across multiple Google campuses
