Dust troubles resolved thanks to Andrews Ventilation

Posted Date 07/09/2023

A disused building site faced significant challenges during roof and floor replacements due to dust accumulation, hampering the progress of demolition and refurbishment. Recognising the urgent need for dust control, the project team turned to Andrews Ventilation for a comprehensive solution.

The challenge

The building presented a unique set of challenges – but nothing we couldn’t address! The presence of dust was a major concern, and this was heightened by the nature of the works being carried out and the affluent residential area in close proximity. Contaminating the surroundings was not an option, and it was crucial to meet both project requirements and strict site regulations.

The solution

Andrews Ventilation responded promptly by conducting a free site survey. Our experts provided recommendations and specification sheets detailing the appropriate equipment needed for the task at hand.

When it comes to assisting large-scale building assignments, Andrews Sykes is the number one ventilation hire company. Our experienced engineers know that efficient temporary solutions can make all the difference in meeting tight schedules and staying within budget.

After an initial site survey, the recommended solution was to install temporary ventilation into the roof space while roof refurbishment works were underway using a single FV900 fan along with several lengths of ducting.

Breathe easy on Clean Air Day!

Posted Date 15/06/2023

Clean Air Day is a global initiative that aims to raise awareness about the importance of clean air and its impact on our health and the environment. It serves as a reminder to everyone to take steps towards reducing air pollution and improving air quality.

Indoor air pollution has become a growing concern in recent years. The air we breathe indoors can contain harmful particles such as carbon dioxide, dust, and bacteria. These pollutants can have adverse effects on our respiratory system and overall well-being. To combat this issue, Andrews Sykes offers a range of air purification systems, including air cleaners, air purifiers, and ventilation fans.

FV900 S2 Ventilation Extraction Fan

The demand for ventilation fans has been on the rise in recent months, as major construction projects (such as HS2, Hinkley Point C and Crossrail and the Battersea Power Station redevelopment) require specialist equipment to maintain a safe working environment.

Ventilation fans are an essential part of any construction project, as they provide a constant flow of fresh air and help to remove dust, fumes, and other hazardous particles from the work area. In addition, ventilation fans also help to regulate the temperature and humidity levels within a construction site, ensuring that workers can carry out their tasks in a comfortable and safe environment during the fast-approaching summer months.

Metal manufacturer protects steel consignment and saves money in the process!

Posted Date 16/11/2022

There is no better indicator of our excellent customer service than yielding repeat customers. As a basic principle, we always aim to stand out from the competition and add value to a project each time we visit a site.

Earlier this month, our experts were approached by one of the UK’s largest steel producers – as has been the case for most of the last decade!

The change in weather meant that moisture levels had risen above the safe range of between 35-55%, drastically increasing the risk of corrosion and metal oxidation. With hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of steel exposed to high levels of moisture, a dedicated solution was required to preserve our client’s assets.

Andrews Ventilation Hire provide metal recycling company with bespoke extraction solution

Posted Date 13/08/2018

When one of Britain’s leading metal recycling companies experienced a fire on a ship they were working on, an immediate ventilation solution was required to assist with the removal of lingering fumes. Our client was tasked with removing scrap metal from the ship’s interior but could not proceed until the contaminated air had been extracted.

Andrews Ventilation was subsequently contacted and made aware of the financial repercussions of our customer being held up – approximately £30,000 per day! An immediate response was therefore required, prompting our trained local specialists to visit the site later that day and propose an appropriate ventilation hire arrangement.

Short-term ventilation hire assists with flume maintenance works

Posted Date 16/05/2018

Andrews ventilation Hire was recently drafted in by a local East Sussex leisure centre to ensure all hazardous fumes were removed from their indoor swimming pool while maintenance work was carried out on their flumes.

As part of this process, the customer was required to recoat the flumes with a special resin. This substance creates highly toxic fumes which need to be cleared from the building’s interior to prevent workers from inhaling potentially dangerous toxins. As a result, a temporary ventilation extraction arrangement was required immediately.

Ventilation hire provides bespoke extraction solution for major construction company

Posted Date 11/05/2018

A well-known construction company contacted Andrews Ventilation Hire to prevent hazardous fumes from marring the development of a new retail outlet. Before the facility could open to the public, though, a floor covering 30,000 square metres would have to be laid.

Our client’s problem arose from the fact that toxins present within the resin used would have resulted in harmful fumes being released into the working environment. Our specialists were tasked with providing a temporary ventilation solution for the affected area – removing air that had been contaminated by the dangerous chemicals used to create the resin flooring.
