Installation and Commissioning

This can be a seamless exercise if we have provide a detailed design for you, but we appreciate that all projects are different, and that we may be called upon the integrate with an existing project team to ensure a timely installation to design and budget and to ensure the system is working to its design capacity upon handover. As well as a mechanical design, we can offer stylised control packages to suit the system, and, working with longstanding manufacturing partners, we can liaise with nominated sub-contractors within the project team to offer an efficient installation cycle….this could be liaising with mechanical contractors to ensure correct specification of services – e.g fully interlocked gas supplies…..or liaising with electrical contractors to ensure the detail of any first and/or second fix works are identified and monitored – e.g fan controls/ field monitoring/control panel wiring….or liaising with building contractors on a variety of site-specific issues – e.g wall and roof penetrations/structural issues/shopfitting issues.

We can also provide invaluable co-ordination between trades – assisting with minimising service clashes, advising on Health & Safety issues, drafting sub-programmes to meet overall project timelines etc.

As well as the draughting, we offer a fully supportive surveying service. This is a vital cog in the machine of developing a first time solution. We would never allow a design to be signed off without a visit to site to check ‘with our own eyes’. Very often, information does not come across in 3rd party drawings – e.g clashes with other services/building inaccuracy – so it is imperative that a survey is undertaken.

We pride ourselves on being very ‘hands-on’. As well as attending site meetings, liaising with other trades, submitting and responding to RFI’s, undertaking ad-hoc site surveys etc, we are happy to assist in overseeing installations and even helping installers to fit the equipment.

Remember, we CAN provide the full bespoke solution for you – we work with seasoned mechanical and electrical contractors with whom we have developed long-standing industry relationships.

Our ductwork, plant and canopy installation partners have 20+ years of experience and have worked all over the UK. They come fully certificated with CSCS accreditation and also have industry ‘standards’ such as IPAF, PUWER and SSSTS accreditations.

We can support on site installation if required – our team has years of hands-on experience as well as offering the full technical design support.

Our electrical and controls partners are experienced within the field of HVAC, and will offer full installation, testing and sign off of their installations. They also work hand in hand with out commissioning teams to ensure the system is handed over free from snags and bugs.

So, if your job is a small restaurant with a jobbing building contractor or a large co-ordinated install, a modest-sized job under CDM regulations or for a top tier super-contractor, we have the experience, patience and dexterity to deal with whatever the job may throw at us.

We can oversee and supervise all your procurement to suit the design and its programme – from fans to control panels, heaters and AHUs to specialist sub-contracted items like thermal insulation, Fire Rated Ductwork manufacture and acoustic treatment.

We can work with your or our suppliers for specialist access equipment, and we can draft your Health and Safety Documentations (RAMS) to satisfy even the most stringent site agents and conditions.

We work with a hugely experienced team of commissioning engineers to satisfy all technical documentation requirements that your project may require.

We can offer basic airflow surveys to assess current installations and to troubleshoot any performance issues.

We can use our support engineers to offer you full commissioning reports using certified measuring equipment to support our or others’ design parameters and to handover a fully compliant, balanced working system first time.

In commercial kitchens, it is vitally important that air balancing criteria are satisfied – it is not sufficient to turn the fans on and ‘away you go’ – careful consideration needs to be given to products of combustion when using gas appliances, so co-ordination between airflows and fan control is required to ensure good operation and safe operation.
