to switch-on.

We deliver a one-stop service covering everything from surveys, inspections and design through to installation, commissioning and aftercare. A rapid, responsive service right across the UK.

  1. M&E Mechanical & Electrical Installation

    Comprehensive M&E services — every element of every system we install.

  2. CRIT Critical Engineering

    Essential systems and infrastructure, designed, implemented and maintained.

  3. HV High Voltage Services

    Energy efficient solutions to expand and upgrade power systems.

  4. PV Solar

02VoidThe coordination check

Five things that
clash in a void.

Coordination is not a drawing exercise. It is the difference between a duct that fits and a duct that is cut on site. These are the five we check before anything is fabricated.

Services above a suspended grid ceiling: rectangular ductwork, insulated pipework and cable tray.
Above a suspended grid: ductwork, insulated pipework and cable tray sharing one void.
C–01

Duct / beam

Check. A duct sized for volume meets a downstand beam at the highest point of the soffit. Resolve. Set the beam soffit level first, then route, flatten or resize the duct — or move the penetration.

C–02

Pipe / tray

Check. Insulated pipework and a cable tray want the same 150 mm. Resolve. Reserve a services zone with fixed levels for each before either is modelled.

C–03

Tray / sprinkler

Check. A tray crossing a range pipe can obstruct the spray pattern from the head. Resolve. Drop the sprinkler below the tray, or break the tray at a fire-rated barrier.

C–04

Access / valve

Check. A valve is reachable on paper and behind a duct on site. Resolve. Draw the access zone as a solid, not a note. If it cannot be reached, it cannot be maintained.

C–05

HV / everything

Check. High voltage containment needs segregation from low voltage and from anything that may be worked on live. Resolve. A dedicated route, agreed before the first tray is fixed — not after.

Healthcare · Glasgow

Queen Elizabeth University Hospital
Negative Pressure Isolation Rooms

We converted seven PPVL isolation rooms into negative pressure isolation facilities, to contain patients suspected of having a highly infectious disease. The work covered mechanical, electrical and controls installations — BMS, lighting, power, fire alarms, water systems and drainage — plus alterations to existing small power, fire alarms, lighting, AHU, plant, ventilation and ductwork.

It was carried out in three phases inside a live hospital, under strict HAI-SCRIBE measures: work areas segregated with air-sealed partitions, tack mats and a monitoring station to manage dust. We coordinated throughout with the Estates, Infection Control and Ward managers.
