High efficiency air conditioning technology installed at The Valley

Posted Date 18/11/2015

As part of Charlton Athletic’s plan to improve the stadium, a huge investment has been made in a state-of-the-art air conditioning system designed to instil unprecedented levels of economical cooling inside the West Stand’s hospitality and dining areas. The upgrade was completed ahead of the new season and offers environmentally-friendly comfort cooling at significantly reduced operating costs.

Our engineers liaised directly with the client’s advisors to ensure the requirements of various applications were considered and then accommodated. This constructive consultation phase allowed the suitability of a variety of modern air conditioning systems to be analysed, before the most appropriate solution was put forward.

UK braced for looming heatwave

Posted Date 17/07/2014

Met Office officials have issued an urgent heatwave warning as we approach the weekend, with Britons being advised to stay indoors wherever possible. A level 2 heat-health alert has subsequently been declared with temperatures exceeding 30°C in London and East Anglia – hotter than Hawaii and the Bahamas!

Unsurprisingly, there is widespread coverage of the imminent warm weather, with the Daily Mail reporting that ‘it will be the first official heatwave in a year’.

Look out for us tomorrow at Liverpool Street railway station, where we will be handing out another consignment of free fans to commuters and tourists in the area. We have been helping Londoners battle the recent climatic upturn and will distribute more promotional fans at other locations in the future.

UPS room in the Shard needs cooling

Posted Date 23/05/2014

An international broadcaster headquartered in the Middle East needed the intervention of Andrews Sykes before moving into new offices in London. The Shard – Europe’s tallest freestanding building – was their location of choice, but an overheating issue threatened to obstruct the moving in process.

The main UPS switch room – which provides the company with a back-up power supply – was getting too hot, and this problem had to be addressed before occupancy could begin. We provided the client with a PAC 60 portable air conditioner complete with heat exchanger and accessories, to reduce the internal temperature. By removing warm air from the vicinity, we prevented critical materials and equipment from being exposed to dangerous amounts of heat.

An international pharmaceutical company headquartered in London required a cooling solution for staff on their production line. They called Andrews Air Conditioning and within hours a site survey was completed. This organisation employs 100,000 people worldwide therefore it is vital staff are kept comfortable. The healthcare industry is worth billions of pounds consequently it is essential that the manufacturing process runs smoothly.

A site survey by an Andrews engineer determined that 15 Cyclone Dx Evaporative Coolers would work best in this medical environment. The coolers were placed throughout the site to provide efficient comfort cooling for staff. The Cyclone Dx is fully portable and runs on a standard power supply, making it perfect for use in a range of locations and environments. The Cyclone Coolers kept staff cool throughout the warm period during the production process. Andrews Air Conditioning has a wealth of experience when dealing with cooling requirements in the manufacturing industry, whether this be spot cooling or large scale process cooling.

Andrews provide emergency server room cooling

Posted Date 18/01/2014

A major facilities management company that provide services for leading banks and government buildings urgently required Andrews Air Conditioning Hire due to a problem at a large server room, located in central London.

The client needed to turn off their chilled water system, so that the pipework could be drained in order to replace a faulty valve. Due to the sensitive nature of the server room and the risk of overheating, temporary air conditioning needed to be installed to counter the loss of cooled air from the fixed chilled water system

Posted Date 15/08/2013

Andrews Sykes, renowned for 24/7, 365, 360 degree Climate Control Hire and air conditioning installation service and repair, invests heavily in maintaining an extensive vehicle fleet operating out of its nationwide (and international) depot network; Andrews UK deploys a total of 246 vehicles, supplemented in peak times such as the recent heatwave, by rental partners

Ensuring this fleet operates at peak performance is a huge task. As Richard Galvin, Operations Support Director says ‘Our focus is not only on ensuring our equipment is in excellent condition – our clients rely on us to help keep their business running, but also on making certain that at any time we have vehicles and drivers available and ready to go at a moment’s notice’. That’s why we regularly replace and refresh the fleet – around 15 vehicles are replaced every quarter, which requires careful planning and resource management

New Charlton ‘Away’ Kit Launched

Andrews Sykes welcomes CAFC to our Charlton Depot

A delegation of players, backroom staff and club officers were welcomed to Andrews Sykes’ Charlton Hub, one of the busiest in the nationwide network of Climate Control and Pump Hire facilities

Yann Kermorgant and Johnnie Jackson represented the players and were kind enough to don the striking black and white kit for photo opportunities with the Andrews Sykes team. They had a tour of the facilities and met many of the staff and answered questions and signed autographs – many of those who work at Andrews Sykes are long standing Charlton fans so this was a real treat. Maybe for the players a short break after hard pre-season training was also a welcome change of pace as well, but both looked in good condition and are clearly raring to go for the new season

Andrews Sykes – Working to enhance FM

Facilities Managers and Facilities Management partners are often central to our work with customers. However facilities management itself is often overlooked as an important part of everyday business processes.

Facilities management has not historically been at the centre of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors’ (RICS) attention. However, after detailing that not enough of facilities managers’ time is spent on strategy (planning) compared to reacting, RICS recently published guidance on how facilities managers can enhance organisational performance. They championed the “strong working relationship” between real estate and facilities management, with the aim to maximise efficiency and effectiveness.
