Element Six Ascot
Element Six are manufactures of synthetic diamonds and due to business growth they needed to expand. Which lead them to acquiring the industrial unit opposite their existing building. The fit out of the new unit was over budget so we were asked for value engineering ideas. We were able to assist with bring the project into a workable budget.
The project included:
- Design & Build – We carried out full electrical design including loading of all production equipment to establish new
DNO transformer size - Temporary Installation – Temporary 110V 10kVA transformer for builders
- Mains distribution – The new distribution system consists of a new 12-way panel board with integral metering and surge protection. Zucchini medium power busbars that offer speed, simplicity and flexibility during planning and installation. Further sub-mains to production distribution boards and external mechanical distribution board
- Channel Support System – We design and installed a support system for high level electrical and mechanical services. This was suspended at a workable height above the product lines. This accommodated the ventilation system, busbar system, lighting and containment
- Lighting – High output Low energy LED lighting was required to meet required lux levels. These were fitted to a lighting trunking system
- Fire/Emergency/Security – The existing fire alarm system was retained and adapted to suit the new layout. The emergency lighting was achieved by using twin flood lighting mounted to the lighting trunking. We install an access control system that worked with their existing system in the building opposite. This gave access to employee
- Surveys – Once the production equipment was in use we carried out a power analysation to see if there was a requirement for power factor correction to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs
