Andrews Air Conditioning make pilot graduation ceremony a flying success

Posted Date 15/08/2019

The management team at a well-known Winchester hotel sought the expertise of Andrews Air Conditioning ahead of a pilot graduation event that was scheduled there. The ceremony was due to take place in a large marquee situated within the grounds of the hotel, but fluctuating weather conditions made it very difficult for organisers to gauge what temperature to expect on the day.

As such, precautions needed to be taken to ensure the marquee was comfortable regardless of the outdoor ambient temperature.

The organisers of a food and entertainment pop-up summer event situated on the Thames South Bank recently contacted Andrews Air Conditioning after experiencing an issue with their cooling and heating system inside their temporary marquee.

Based in a prominent location visited by tens of thousands of passers-by, the event is predicted to attract high numbers of visitors who expect conditions to be perfect. So, when the management team at the pop-up event noticed a slump in the number of attendees, it became clear that a temperature-related issue was putting people off.

Posted Date 11/08/2017

At Andrews Air Conditioning Hire, we know that when entertaining guests, everything has to be exactly right if the event is to be a memorable one. So when our client was set to host the biggest food festival in the Midlands, our experts were on hand to provide them with a constant circulation of fresh and cool air.

Event organisers were under a significant amount of pressure to provide their guests with an enjoyable experience which had come under threat due to the hot, unbearable weather.

As a result, an Andrews engineer was sent to conduct a site survey and recommend an appropriate cooling arrangement. It was decided that a high capacity HPAC90 air conditioning rental would be adequate for reducing marquee temperatures and combating heat generated from live cookery lessons.

Due to September’s record-breaking temperatures and intermittent humidity swings exhibited by most marquees, our client contacted us to provide a practical solution that would successfully cool the key heat generated areas, as well as providing comfort cooling for the guests.

Andrews Air Conditioning aid successful broadcast of James Bond Spectre premiere

Posted Date 03/11/2015

With the new James Bond movie now hitting cinema screens across the UK, box office predictions have tipped the film to gross close to $1billion by the end of 2015. It is of no surprise, then, that the premiere for Spectre at the Royal Albert Hall was attended by a seemingly endless list of celebrities that even extended to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

All were present to witness the debut broadcast in London, leaving no room for error from a transmission perspective. Organisers were naturally keen for the event to be a resounding success and so every logistical factor was thoroughly considered beforehand – including cooling of the projector room. Should vital electronics or servers overheat on the night, consequences would likely include a complete inability to show the film.

University in Wales seeks air conditioning

Posted Date 03/09/2014

One of Britain’s leading education institutions recently required temporary cooling for a series of graduation ceremonies during the summer period. Rising seasonal temperatures combined with large numbers of people in a confined space had caused the university’s main hall to overheat, and as such a short-term solution was needed. The client had a fixed cooling arrangement on-site but our portable units were also required to supplement this effectively.

The enquiry was swiftly handled by a member of our contact centre who was able to recommend equipment suitable for the application. This in turn ensured that a site survey was not necessary and enabled three Cyclone Evaporative Coolers to be delivered within hours of the initial call.

Major snooker competition seeks temporary climate control

Posted Date 07/08/2014

A world-famous snooker theatre contacted us regarding the need for appropriate cooling during a two week tournament. The client – who was using Andrews Sykes’ services for the ninth consecutive year – had a heat problem caused by lighting and the sheer volumes of people inside. Temporary equipment was therefore required in order to effectively counteract these unfavourable conditions.

We supplied the facility with three PAC22 air conditioners – two for the main auditorium where matches were played, and one for the media area backstage. This solution proved to be adequate in cooling not only the players, but also reporters and snooker fans that were in attendance.

Literature festival requires temporary air conditioning

Posted Date 09/07/2014

A literature festival recently took place near the beautiful Welsh borders. The festival is 27 years old and brings together intellectuals form all around the world, from exciting writers to filmmakers, comedians, politicians and musicians all of them inspire and entertain.

The festival organisers have been clients with Andrews Sykes for years. Some of the cabins contained a large amount of electrical equipment to support some of the marquees, subsequently it caused a warmer ambient. This meant that there was a need to reduce the temperature within certain areas. We provided two Polar Wind 4.1 kW air conditioning units on a short term hire, each unit was strategically placed, so that the individual cabins would not be compromised, whilst still managing to cool the sensitive areas. The Polar Wind has a fully automatic thermostat and a remote control, it’s totally portable and can be positioned to direct a welcome breeze of cool air anywhere in a room. The job was specified on site by one of our engineers, ensuring for the best solution on last minute changes.
