Building 47, Bruntingthorpe

 

In partnership with construction and insurance companies, we undertook a full-scale building renovation. The project commenced with a comprehensive removal of existing components, essentially beginning anew. The primary objective was to modernise the electrical systems, thereby elevating safety and efficiency. 

 

To optimise cable management, we strategically placed cable tray and basket, along with galvanised trunking at high levels around the perimeter of the unit. Containment drops were then implemented to seamlessly connect electrical outlets and distribution boards, ensuring a streamlined and organised system throughout the building. 

 

The installation of new distribution boards was a pivotal step in meeting the diverse electrical needs of the facility. These boards served as central hubs, efficiently distributing power to different sections of the building and accommodating various systems. 

 

Recognising the importance of protection against lightning strikes, we installed lightning protection alongside a 3-in-1 SPD at the main panel board. This sophisticated setup acted as a robust shield, safeguarding the entire electrical network from potential damage caused by lightning. 

 

Our collaboration with the designer was instrumental in strategically placing small power outlets throughout the building, catering to the requirements of diverse systems and ensuring seamless integration. Additionally, bespoke 3-phase Portable Power DB's were installed to support specialist equipment, each equipped with local circuit breakers to prevent tripping and protect vital machinery. 

 

A comprehensive fire alarm system was integrated, connecting the welfare and office cabins to ensure swift response in case of emergencies. The implementation of internal and external CCTV coverage enhanced security, providing remote control capabilities from the client's hub and ensuring comprehensive surveillance across all areas of the premises. 

 

Anticipating future needs, we installed a supply for an electric vehicle (EV) charger, showcasing our commitment to sustainability and emerging technologies. Furthermore, data cables were meticulously laid out for an RF tagging system, seamlessly linking back to the main hub for efficient monitoring and control of access to the premises. 

 

The completion of this project not only restored Building 47 to a fully functional state but also elevated its capabilities with cutting-edge electrical systems. From lightning protection to EV charging infrastructure, our team ensured that the revamped facility is well-equipped to meet the demands of the modern era while prioritising safety, efficiency, and future adaptability.
