- Power Lab
Power Lab Refurbishment
Works comprised the conversion of the existing western wing of building providing three test labs for high quality power integration testing for aircraft electrical equipment. This part of the building was unheated and used for storage. Britcon has undertaken a considerable amount of internal refurbishment to provide soundproofed and ventilated accommodation.
High quality reception areas and conference rooms have been provided in the central core area. The high quality internal environment was emulated in improvements to the external appearance of the building.
External improvement included a new curved roof to the main lab building, a new roof to the area where supporting facilities are provided and changes to the external appearance of the building by the introduction of cladding.
The existing roof of the building incorporated clerestory lights over the two areas to be converted to test labs. The condition of the roof and lights was poor with considerable evidence of water ingress and moss accumulation, indicating ponding. The new curved roof was created over the areas of the new test labs, replacing the existing flat roof and clerestory lights. The new roof will overcame existing defects, improved the thermal performance of the building and transformed the image of the building to a modern 'aviation' feel. The new roof also allowed for the necessary plant associated with the test labs to be installed on a mezzanine floor area.
