DBS were employed to undertake the supply and installation of the Mechanical and Electrical Services to Phase 2 of a new office and laboratory development at Plot 9, Harwell, Oxford.
The 25,000 square foot building is a research and development facility for industrial diamond products. Phase 2 is a multi-use building housing a range of offices, laboratories, clean rooms and test facilities. It is linked to the Phase 1 building with a new two storey entrance and reception area.
The design incorporated exposed services meaning that maximum co-ordination between trades was vital to ensure the installation looked well-ordered, especially within the ground floor R&D facility which required a high volume of services to each area.
The Plant Room was located on the mezzanine level above the 2nd floor requiring plant to be craned into position in a co-ordinated manner due to the constrictions of the building.
