Diamond Light Source Beam Line I20
 | ||
| Lowe and Oliver, as an approved frame work contractor were awarded the Beam Line I20 LOLA x-ray spectroscopy for the study of x-ray absorption, energy dispersive and X-ray emission spectroscopy. Employed as the main contractor we were responsible for all works undertaken with the design and construction of the cabins, final finishes, complex electrical and mechanical services installations and the co-ordination between services and the structure. Working to detailed design and elevation drawings multiple containment systems consisting of cable tray and trunking were installed to cater for the numerous cable systems required. Connected to these containment systems conduit and dado trunking systems were installed to equipment locations. The installed systems comprise lighting, small / large power, fire alarm, close mechanical services control systems, oxygen depletion, Beam Line alarm monitoring, clean earth, leak detection, interlocked personal access and blue lighting. Due to its size and complexity the project was demanding in both terms of the technical nature, programme constraints and required a high level of close supervision and management with weekly project management meetings for reporting and programming purposes and resolution of technical issues. | Key Facts Client: Diamond Light Source Consultant: Parsons Brinkerhoff Architect: Parsons Brinkerhoff Main contractor: Lowe & Oliver Value: £874,000 Start date: July 2008 Completion date: March 2009 | |
