If an organisation’s climate control system begins to operate less efficiently or even breaks down altogether, it is often the role of a facilities manager to commission repairs and source a temporary replacement. So, when a specialised arts university suffered a complete failure of their humidification system, a quick solution was needed to safeguard the contents of a gallery that was exhibiting work from world-renowned figures.
When the estates team for a well-known Nottingham hospital contacted us in search of some temporary humidifier units, our regional engineer was on hand to provide a suitable hire arrangement. The team leader responsible for two wards at the hospital had become concerned by the low level of relative humidity within patient areas, which needed to be addressed immediately.
A facilities management company recently contacted us on behalf of their client after complaints from staff about uncomfortable office conditions. Low relative humidity had led to some employees suffering dry eyes, throats and cracked skin, while there were also separate reports of static electricity affecting computer hardware within the building.
With precious artefacts on public display all year round, it is critical that museums continuously monitor the environment surrounding their exhibits. A controlled indoor climate will ensure the preservation of treasured historical and cultural pieces and this includes maintaining relative humidity within a very specific range.
Companies operating in the printing industry are dependent upon a well-balanced and humid environment to guarantee consistently high-level products, reduced wastage and longer life cycles. But it’s not just the final print quality that can be affected by moisture content in the air. Printing presses and other machinery operate more efficiently, with paper jams and other malfunctions occurring far less frequently as a direct result of relative humidity being properly controlled.
The arrival of Storm Desmond in the run-up to Christmas 2015 saw much of the UK badly struck by unprecedented levels of rainfall. Flood defence schemes had largely proved futile and around 60,000 homes were left without power in the worst affected areas. Water also rose to first floor windows in hundreds of houses in Cumbria and Northumberland, with the Met Office announcing that December was the wettest month ever recorded on these shores.
When a prominent TV station required an emergency cooling package following a breakdown, Andrews Chiller Hire stepped in to provide assistance. The national broadcaster contacted us out-of-hours seeking an urgent cooling solution for their studio control room, following the breakdown of an ageing air conditioning system.
When a market leading, multi-disciplinary construction company was tasked with the refurbishment of a major pharmaceutical company’s distribution warehouse, Andrews Ventilation was called in to offer expert advice. Our experienced specialist team understand the challenges faced by developing large projects such as this, especially those with difficult ground conditions. The knowledge which our ventilation technicians have gained in these developments allows us to provide the client with innovative, cost effective solutions ensuring the success of the project and less risk to the client.
Heatwaves have the potential to cause problems for a broad range of businesses, with companies operating out of warehouses and factories among those likely to be affected.
During the warm summer period, a broadcasting hardware company in Cambridgeshire, was experiencing issues with their cooling system which was jeopardising the company’s daily operations. This prompted the client to contact Andrews Air Conditioning for a solution to maintain a comfortable environment for their employees.
The Andrews building dryer range can handle up to 75 litres of dehumidification capacity per hour! Among this range is the FD40DV, which is one of the most popular units available for hire in the UK.
Our robust dryers are frequently used for building construction applications that require high levels of drying power. The process of dehumidification helps to accelerate the rate of drying out wet processes in a gentle manner, alleviating possible shrinkage and cracking problems. Our specialist building dryers provide cost-effective, efficient drying and can be used in conjunction with heaters to boost the drying process.
