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.

Hinkley Point C project requires dewatering solution

Posted Date 17/07/2020

The sheer scale of Hinkley Point presents its fair share of challenges, necessitating that the experts at Sykes Pumps oversee the site’s far-reaching dewatering requirements. One of the difficulties of managing a site of this size and scope, particularly given its coastal location, and proximity to natural water courses, is taking rainfall and tidal surges into consideration. To help achieve this, the lead contractor has divided the vast site into six water managements zones (WMZ) and enlisted the help of Sykes Pumps, to provide the varied pumping solutions required.
