Overview / Challenge
Client: Bruntwood Works
Principal Contractor: Workspace Design & Build
Architect: 3D Reid
Designer: Cathy Mocke
Lighting Designer: Artin Light. (Luke Artingstall)
M&E: Sigma M&E
As part of the site preparation work, Sigma carefully removed disposed of existing redundant electrical, voice and data installations to the Ground and Upper Ground Floors as well as being responsible for the installation and maintenance of site temporary supplies for enabling and contract works throughout the contract.
To ensure the WELL certification status, Sigma installed a powder coated containment system to the ground and upper ground floors. This containment carried the cabling for Electrical, Fire Alarm, Security and Voice & Data systems.
The building also contains a circadian lighting system – designed to replicate a 24-hour cycle of sleep, wake, hunger, alertness, and body temperature.
Leading by Example
As the leading contractor, Sigma was commissioned to transform the disused warehouse, together with annexe office space, into a modern, future-proofed facility. A project of this breadth and scale, that involved everything from the specification and installation of a new roof, to a complete bespoke M&E package, the facility required significant investment in infrastructure, welfare and capital equipment, before the fully functioning assembly, testing and dispatch facility was complete.
