The team has improved the M&E system infrastructure and doubled the capacity of the existing 30-year old telephone exchange.

Central to the success of the project was the provision of a one-stop shop service. This allowed total control of the project from a cost and scheduling perspective but also gave us the ability to integrate innovative ideas to ensure full flexibility and reliability.

We have created a modular solution, which adopts a ‘Plug and Play’ technique to all services for easy future expansion. By simply providing the necessary infrastructure for immediate load increase significant cost savings have been made. This modular approach also allowed easy dissection of the project into seven, fully integrated stages to minimise any impact on the existing building’s operation.”

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques were employed and studies performed during design development to optimise the plant room layout and air flow cooling and combustion air flow.
