Process Details: Production control facility for a plate mill operated by a world leading steel-maker.
Scope of Work: To design, manufacture, deliver and install the required facility, this being of approximate overall
sizes 5.2m long x 3.6m wide x 2.9m high.
Design Considerations: -
• Structural steel skeleton complete with integral lattice frame floor (fully boarded). Walls and roof over-clad
with bespoke manufactured panelling.
• Panel inner fascias in perforated steel for maximum acoustic absorption, and all powder coated for durability,
longevity, ease of cleaning etc.
• The overall heavy duty construction being suitable for operation in the noisy, dirty & dusty conditions
associated with this heavy industrial process, and fit for purpose in providing a safe working environment for
operations and maintenance personnel.
• Single man access door for personnel entry / egress and emergency exit.
• Acoustically insulated vision panels (manufactured in tinted, heat reflective safety glass & inclined to prevent
the build-up of dust & dirt on the panes) providing operational personnel with a panoramic overview of the mill
and the `Levelling' process, whilst offering protection from hot plate glare.
• The unit provides the housed computer & visual display equipment with suitable protection against the
harmful effects of condensation, corrosion etc.
• Monitor hanging bracket system facilitates the mounting of the required visual display units at high level.
• Industrial type air conditioning unit (ducting, ceiling mounted diffusers & air return grilles etc. all inclusive)
ensures total comfort of personnel and the satisfactory operation of the installed electrical equipment.
• Turnkey package included the provision of suspended ceilings, modular & emergency lighting, mains power &
data transfer services, finished floor overlays etc.
• Rigid manufacturing programme and a limited installation schedule to coincide with the end users two-week
summer shut-down period.
Acoustic Performance: The office construction provided a 30dB reduction from factory ambient noise levels,
allowing personnel to effectively communicate in a stress-free, comfortable environment.
