Research

For years, we have been working with world renowned scientific research institutions to deliver state of the art fit outs to enable pioneering discoveries.

Our approach combines technical precision with close collaboration, ensuring every project meets the exacting standards of functionality, safety and regulatory compliance.

Laboratories

• Benching and workstations: Installing chemical resistant and easy to clean materials for lab benches and worktops
• Fume hoods: Installed for handling volatile substances
• Specialist equipment: Building accommodation for microscopes, centrifuges, spectrometers and other necessary apparatus
• Utilities access: Gas, power, water and data ports installed at strategic locations

Environmental control systems

• Installation of HVAC systems: Precise control of temperature, humidity and airflow, particularly for sensitive experiments
• Air filtration: HEPA filters to maintain clean air in controlled environments
• Pressure control: Positive or negative pressure zones, depending on research requirements

Specialist storage

• Cold storage: Freezer and refrigerator installation for temperature sensitive samples
• Chemical storage: Installing ventilated cabinets for flammable, toxic or reactive substances
• Secure areas: Building for hazardous materials or confidential data

Safety features

• Emergency equipment: Showers, eyewash stations and spill kits installed at strategic locations
• Fire safety: Using fire resistant materials, as well as installing suppression systems and appropriate signage
• Access control: Installing security systems to restrict entry to sensitive areas

IT and data infrastructure

• High speed connectivity: Installing reliable networks for data collection, sharing and analysis
• Server rooms: Designed for climate control and security
• Automation systems: For equipment monitoring and lab management

Workplace fit out

• Office space: Areas for more typical desk based work
