Sector: Industrial & Manufacturing
Project Description
SDS were appointed by the client as part of a £7.8 million site wide update, including the repositioning of a process line and an expansion to the existing building
The area of works covered 2,980m2 inside an 8m height manufacturing building
The project consists of multiple phases of works, safely repositioning over 20 moulding machines each weighing between 20 to 2st
A detailed project programme was created to enable construction to take place whilst maintaining production in a clean and safe environment
Electrical enabling works on live switchgear was coordinated with designated shutdown periods
Special consideration for Health and Safety, and futureproofing of systems was incorporated into the design
Specialist fire aspirating system designed to cover all areas for early warning detection. High powered Visual Alarm Devices (VADs) specified for industrial environments with high

High and low voltage transformer upgrades, relocation works and high voltage grading studies.
“ £7.8m Moulding Line replacement for multi-million pound medical technology company BD”
Project Involvement
SDS have been leading a multi-discipline design team to deliver a full range of professional services
Carried out the detailed design including the specialist requirements for serving each moulding machine
Local assessments, calculations and schedules were produced detailing integration with existing systems on site
Due to the technical nature of the equipment and high level of coordination required, we have attended detailed client and team meetings to ensure all system designs are coordinated
Specialist extract ventilation has been designed to remove the large heat load from the space ensuring comfort for the machine operators
Mechanical services installations include, new roof mounted AHU providing Class 9 ISO clean room standard facilities and compressed air distribution
