Including:
The project, due to its sensitivity, had to be
planned carefully utilising a select team of personnel, as access to
this site, was as you can imagine, very limited and restrictive.
Initially, all personnel working on the project, were security checked
prior to the Palace agreeing to their involvement with this project.
We also had further logistical problems which involved the precious
items presently being stored within the gold vaults,which were to
remain, as they were unable to relocate these items to an alternative
secure area.
The situation was
overcome by cladding all the cabinets and creating safe areas within
the vaults where some of the items were relocated during the course of
our works.
All building work
was carried out under strict conditions to control dust and debris, as
was the dismantling of the existing equipment.
The new air
handling plant had to be transported into the area in small sections
and built in position due to the restrictive access, as was the
ductwork.
On completing the
installation, the ductwork system was thoroughly cleaned, as was the
site to minimise dust particles within the area.
Finally the
project was completed providing the close control air conditioning
space with humidification, fresh air with a high level of filtration
ensuring that the precious items contained within this space are kept
in a stable environment.
Our
professionalism shown on this particular project which was completed on
programme has enabled us to be included on other Royal household
projects.

This is one of the
largest health clubs groups in Europe. Providing all facilities
including swimming, sauna, steam rooms, running track, weights,
exercise machines of various sorts, beauty and hair salons,
restaurants, dance gyms and a separate ladies gyms.
These type of clubs demands a large quantity of water heated and cooled
which has to be maintained seven days per week, 16 hours a day, so all
major maintenance is usually carried out at night to ensure minimum
disruption to clientele.
However, the club areas are served by a mixture of direct Refrigeration
Units with Remote Condensers and Main Plant, with four pipe Fan Coil
System, to ensure that the environmental conditions are maintained
throughout the Club.
This site is attended on a daily basis with the provision of a 24 hour
call-out facility.

Including:
In July 1999, Hoveair won a bid to supply and
install equipment for Drake & Scull, the UK’s largest independent
engineering contractor. Hoveair provided the complete design services
in the selection of the most appropriate air conditioning products to
meet the specification.
Golden Cross House
was built in the mid 1800s and is located in Trafalgar Square, in the
heart of the West End. It was recently acquired by MWB Business
Exchange to provide fully serviced offices with extensive facilities
for business support, meetings and conferences. The six-storey
property, with its original high ceilings, contains 89 offices of
varying sizes providing flexible office solutions for all types of
businesses.
Since the building
had been newly refurbished, it was important that the air conditioning
systems were highly effective. As the building is Victorian, Hoveair
suggested solutions which were compatible with an older environment.
Consideration had to be given to the age of the building, its
structural changes and any legislation affecting the type of system
which could be installed.
In total, Hoveair
installed 16 outdoor units and 147 indoor units with 4 Mitsubishi wall
mounted units which are stand alone splits. As independent units to the
City multi, these wall mounted units provided Drake & Skull with
the freedom to position them in the most suitable areas.
Using state of
the-art technology, the whole system needed to be centrally controlled
in a user-friendly way. The best way to achieve this was by supplying
an MJ 300 PC based BMS system.
The project was
completed at the end of 1999 and the air conditioning equipment was
worth £250,000-
