Laura Annie Wilson Civil Engineering
University of Huddersfield
Overview:
We were tasked with the redevelopment of the university’s civil engineering department. The project involved installing distribution, containment, power, lighting, structured cabling, fire alarm and door access throughout.
This project also required an existing 3-phase distribution area which was to be decommissioned, and outgoing services re-routed to the new proposed location.
The Challenge:
The main challenge was the relatively short lead time into the construction stage from the stage 3 design.
This project required detailed analysis to understand the existing capacity, the proposed demand, and identifying a replacement, whilst limiting disruption to areas outside the work.
The Solution:
The project required out-of-hours working and full team coordination to ensure all existing areas were functional during the construction period.
Genco conducted intrusive surveys to establish areas of concern for power outages. New sub-main containment and cabling routing was agreed to minimise disruption.
Outcomes:
We received very positive feedback from each stakeholder, including a visit from the NICEIC inspector who complimented us on a high-level, quality installation.
