Project Background
The project involved comprehensive internal building upgrades, encompassing both electrical and mechanical systems. This included, but was not limited to, the installation and modification of electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, power outlets, and control panels. Mechanical system upgrades encompassed the installation, repair, or replacement of HVAC systems, plumbing fixtures, and fire protection equipment.
Objectives
Environment Enhancement
HEI's state-of-the-art cabling solution, meticulously designed for irregularly shaped rooms, optimises efficiency and prioritises student safety. This innovative approach ensures seamless connectivity while minimising trip hazards and potential electrical risks, creating a secure and conducive learning environment.
Modern Cabling
High-grade cabling was installed throughout the facility. The Control Room, in particular, was equipped with cutting-edge wiring and soundproofing solutions, as specified by recording studio consultants.
How it started and what we implemented
Our approach included
- Ventilation
- access control
- cabling
- small power
- air-handling
- testing and commissioning
- pipework alteration for ductwork
- fire and security alarm
Results and impact
Standards Compliance:
HEI rigorously inspected all mechanical and electrical installations to ensure compliance with industry standards
Efficient Space Utilisation:
Confirming that electrical components in rooms are spaced appropriately to prevent electrical hazards and ensure the safety of students and staff.
Advanced M&E Systems:
The team’s installation of state-of-the-art M&E systems significantly improved workplace safety and operational efficiency.
Quality and Safety:
Upholding the highest standards of quality assurance and safety compliance throughout the project life-cycle.
Project Lessons
The Jupiter Laboratory in Leamington Spa is a significant asset to the UK’s healthcare landscape. The Mega Lab, a hub of cutting-edge research, is designed to address critical health challenges, including COVID-19. HEI has implemented state-of-the-art technology to help deliver sustainable and high-quality healthcare solutions.
Conclusion
Working with Mercury Construction South West Ltd, Zumbotel Group, Electrak International Limited, University of Plymouth and Daikin Europe we completed this upgrade in great time and within budget as planned.
