WEATHERITE ‘Wellcomed’ To Hinxton Hall

A major programme involving the refurbishment and replacement of air handling units at the Wellcome Trust’s Famous Hinxton Hall research, training and conference facility, has recently been completed by the Weatherite Group.

The Wellcome Trust is at the forefront of research into the human genome and through its subsidiary, Hinxton Hall Limited, provides world class facilities to the organisations based on the ‘Wellcome Trust Genome Campus’ and to the many visitors who use its facilities every year.

As part of the programme of works, it became necessary to refurbish a large number of air handling units, (AHU’s) in the Sulston and West Pavillion buildings and in addition, replace one AHU on West Pavillion block.

At this point the FM team at Hinxton Hall called in Weatherite Building Services, who, acting on a main contractor basis, co-ordinated the complete programme, which was both extensive and demanding. Working in conjunction with sister company Weatherite Manufacturing Limited, the air handling units were refurbished by a specialist engineering team; existing pipe work was modified to accept the new replacement coils; high efficiency fan motors were installed and a new electronic control system installed. In addition, all air handling unit case work was upgraded to ensure the client’s demands for maximum energy efficiency were met.

Working through an intensive 8 week programme, Weatherite planned all works to ensure little disruption to the normal day to day operations of Hinxton Hall and particular care and attention was paid to research organisations using the facilities to ensure their work was not affected or compromised.

Commenting on the project, Martin Thomas, Sales Director, Weatherite Building Services said, “the challenges posed by the works undertaken at Hinxton Hall could not be taken lightly, due to the nature of the research undertaken at this world class facility. However, I’m delighted to say that Weatherite delivered on its commitments to the complete satisfaction of the client and we are delighted to have been involved with such a prestigious project.”
