The works comprised of a full M&E fit-out across two floors office space of the building. Prior to commencing the fit-out works DL M&E completed the strip-out of all existing services which included some of the mechanical equipment being retained for re-installation, which was incorporated into the DL M&E design, and also utilising the existing Ansell lighting in some areas.
DL M&E carried out the full HVAC installation which included replacing the existing Samsung external heat pump to a Samsung heat recovery air-conditioning system to provide heating & cooling, utilising some of the existing internal units supplemented with additional units to accommodate the CAT B fit out and 1 no. Samsung new DX Split System installed within the Comm’s Room. Due to the size of the floor spaces and limitations to the opening windows, the ventilation strategy was a mixture of mechanical and natural ventilation via openable windows which included a traffic light CO2 monitoring device across the whole floor space – again the existing Samsung ERV’s were supplemented with an additional unit to accommodate the CAT B fit-out. New extract systems were installed for the WC’s, Cleaners Cupboard, Tea Point and Printer areas. There was new mains cold water pipework to all outlets to each of the WC Areas and Tea Points that were equipped with local electric water heaters, also with Zip Taps installed in the Tea Points. All new sanitaryware installed in all WC areas.
The electrical works included 4 no. new 3 phase distribution boards were installed with new power distribution installed throughout the floor. A single-phase distribution board was also installed in the comms room for the power within the comms room only. New additional Ansell LED lighting installed to supplement the existing Ansell lighting with a conventional switching and PIR control in certain spaces. External building and car park lighting was also upgraded to give a better illumination of the surrounding area which are controlled via a set of contactors, photocell, and timeclocks. The fire alarm system that was installed was an analogue addressable multi-zone c/w fully monitored automatic fire alarm control and indicator panel which also interfaced to all life safety systems. Due to the nature of the building, full new CCTV, Public address, Intruder Alarm, Public Affray, Access Control, and Induction Loop systems were installed. A completely new comms room was constructed which contained data cabinets for both general and security data connections, all structured cabling was installed with cat6a cable to the RJ45 outlet point supplying the access control, CCTV cameras and wireless access points throughout the project.
The fit-out project for the Client was comprehensive, addressing both mechanical and electrical needs to transform a landlord CAT A fit-out into a fully functional CAT B office space tailored for the Client, ensuring all specific requirements were met with high standards.
