At AMS Compressor Services, we take pride in delivering comprehensive turnkey solutions for a wide range of projects. One of our recent achievements involved the successful design, supply, and fitment of an industrial gas supply system for a prestigious university located in the heart of London. This case study highlights the scope of our works, showcasing our expertise in seamlessly catering to the unique requirements of the university’s laboratories.
Project Overview:
Our installation team was tasked with supplying industrial gases, including nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and compressed air, to 20 laboratories spread across multiple floors of the university. With a total length of 1530m of pipework, our team efficiently executed the project from start to finish, ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted supply of gases for laboratory operations.
Challenges Faced:
1. Complex Network Design: The project required meticulous planning to design and install a network of four ring mains. Each ring main had to be strategically positioned to cater to the laboratories’ diverse needs, ensuring optimal gas distribution throughout the university’s premises.
2. Safety and Compliance: As the project involved handling industrial gases, our team prioritized safety measures and compliance with relevant regulations. Strict adherence to safety protocols and compliance standards was crucial to guarantee the well-being of staff and students, as well as the integrity of the installation.
3. Minimal Disruptions: The installation process had to be seamlessly integrated into the university’s ongoing activities, minimizing disruptions to the daily operations. Our team meticulously coordinated with the university staff to schedule the work in a manner that caused minimal inconvenience to the laboratories and other facilities.
Execution and Results:
Our experienced installation team meticulously executed the project, ensuring every aspect of the industrial gas supply system met the university’s specific requirements. Key steps included:
1. Detailed Project Analysis: Our team conducted a thorough analysis of the university’s laboratory needs, considering factors such as gas flow rates, pressure requirements, and safety standards.
2. Precise Pipework Installation: With a total length of 1530m, our skilled technicians expertly installed the pipework, connecting the four ring mains across the multiple floors. They ensured proper sealing, accurate routing, and optimized pressure distribution.
3. Robust Gas Supply Infrastructure: We supplied and installed high-quality fittings, valves, and regulators to create a reliable and efficient gas supply infrastructure. Each laboratory was equipped with the necessary connections for easy access to the required gases.
4. Rigorous Testing and Quality Assurance: To ensure the system’s performance and safety, our team conducted rigorous testing and quality assurance checks. This included pressure testing, leak detection, and calibration of equipment to guarantee precise gas delivery.
Conclusion:
Our turnkey project for the university in London showcased our expertise in designing, supplying, and fitting an industrial gas supply system for laboratory environments. By overcoming complex challenges and prioritizing safety and compliance, we successfully delivered a seamless installation that met the university’s specific requirements. Our team’s meticulous planning, precise execution, and commitment to quality ensured a reliable and uninterrupted supply of industrial gases, contributing to the smooth functioning of the laboratories and the university as a whole.
