Scope of Works

The turnkey project comprised a full fit-out including structural works, finishes, and mechanical & electrical services:

  • Composite Panel Walling System:
    A freestanding walling structure was constructed using radiation-resistant composite panels, providing both structural integrity and containment performance.
  • Flooring & Ceilings:
    Installation of hard-wearing, cleanable flooring systems and a full suspended ceiling to support environmental control and service distribution.
  • Dark Room Construction:
    A purpose-built dark room was constructed at the rear of the X-ray facility, featuring:

    • Complete light-sealing
    • Task-specific low-level lighting
    • Ventilation for chemical use
    • Fixtures and furniture for image processing workflows
  • Painting & Finishing:
    All surfaces were finished using high-performance coatings suitable for technical and low-contamination environments.
  • Specialist Lifting – Spider Cranes:
    Due to the size and weight of the composite wall panels, spider cranes were deployed for internal lifting and positioning, ensuring safe and precise installation within a constrained working space.

Full M&E Package

A comprehensive mechanical and electrical package was delivered as part of the scope, including:

  • Sprinkler System: Integrated fire suppression system installed to meet fire safety regulations
  • Fire Detection: Full fire alarm and detection system installed throughout, interfaced with the site-wide system
  • Lighting: Energy-efficient lighting solutions for both the X-ray and dark room areas, including emergency lighting provisions
  • Electrical Works: Power distribution, containment, and connection of specialist equipment, including X-ray units and dark room apparatus

All M&E works were delivered to industry standards with a focus on performance, safety, and integration with client systems.

Live Environment Delivery

Working within a live manufacturing environment required:

  • Strict adherence to health & safety regulations
  • Isolation of work areas with minimal disruption to ongoing operations
  • Close coordination with site management and technical teams
  • Careful sequencing of high-risk activities such as crane use and electrical tie-ins

Outcome

The X-ray and dark room facilities were delivered on time, to specification, and with zero disruption to surrounding operations. The result is a fully operational, compliant, and highly functional inspection environment that strengthens the client’s non-destructive testing capabilities in line with aerospace industry demands.

Conclusion

This project exemplifies our ability to deliver high-performance technical environments with precision and control, even within live, safety-critical industrial facilities. Our in-house expertise across construction and M&E ensured seamless coordination and delivery—on budget, on programme, and with outstanding results.
