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.

Andrews assists M&E contractors on £19billion Crossrail project

Posted Date 21/07/2021

The Crossrail project is now making great inroads and expected to bring the Elizabeth line into passenger service before mid-2022. It is thought that the Bond Street station will accommodate almost a quarter of a million people per day once operational and greatly improve accessibility at one of the UK’s busiest shopping districts.

Work is currently ongoing at the station, with M&E subcontractors and service engineers finalising the installation of electrical systems and other infrastructure inside the building’s UPS rooms. However, with seasonal temperatures becoming increasingly warm and no fixed ventilation or air conditioning system in place, the utilities company in charge of this project was forced to supply a temporary source of cooling.
