CASE
STUDY 1 OLIVERS CAFÉ BAR, CARR LANE, HULL
This project was one of the most challenging for KMS. Due
to delays by the local authorities the customer had just one
month to convert a run down restaurant into a new vibrant
city centre café bar and transform it into part of the evening
fashion circuit venues. Despite the tight schedule with other
clients we still managed to hit the opening deadline of 16th
December 2000.
The
installation work included the following items:
1. Our own design of the internal lighting scheme to
compliment both the mood of the daytime clientele and the
more vibrant evening fashion circuit customers.
2. A fully compliant fire alarm system was installed
to local fire authority legislation and linked into the music
system to disable the music if the alarm is activated.
3. A fully compliant emergency lighting system was
installed to local authority legislation
4. The Mediterranean bar lighting design
involved our own design to compliment the most unique design
by the clients.
5.
Installation of the power to the cellar was carried out to
the breweries strict specification.
6. General power was carried out to the general bar
area, Socket outlets in the main public area were protected
by R.C.D circuit breakers to ensure maximum public safety.
CASE
STUDY 2 KINGSTOWN FURNITURE, LEADS ROAD, HULL Top
This
was another high profile project for KMS, it was to illuminate
the large trailer storage area to the rear and side of the
main factory, for security and to meet current Health and
Safety Regulations.
The
installation work included the following items:
1. To organise with a local building contactor to excavate
a cable trench from the main factory building around the perimeter
of the trailer park of about 155metres in length.
2. To install from the factory electrical distribution
area, a sub-main cable along the trench to a centrally positioned
KMS designed distribution control panel.
3. Install to 4 lighting column positions armoured
cables back to the control panel.
4. Install with the help of the building contractors
4- 8metre high lamppost columns, concreted in at the positions
agreed with the client.
5. Install using a hydraulic platform 400W HQI light
fittings to the lamppost columns.
6. To replace existing perimeter lighting on the factory
and on the top of the silo to 400W HQI light fittings to standardise
the external lighting.
Even
though all of the above work was carried out during normal
working hours at no time was there any disruption to the clients
production. The new sub main cable was installed into the
main factory distribution board during the lunchtime break
of production, yet again causing no downtime to the client.
We was then asked by the client to provide amenity/security
lighting to the newly built bicycle sheds using low energy
light fittings controlled via a photocell and timer due to
the shift patterns that are worked at the factory.
CASE
STUDY 3 BARTOLINE LTD, BARMSTON CLOSE, BEVERLEY. Top
This
was a challenging contract for KMS because the full installation
had to be of Zone 1 classification (an area where an explosive
gas or vapour is present under normal circumstances).
Bartoline were converting an old external brick store into
a production room with a pneumatic filling machine to transfer
white spirit from a large storage tank outside into small
containers to send out to customers.
The
installation work included the following:
1.
Installation of Zone 1fire alarm call point linked into the
main factory alarm system.
2. Installation of Zone 1 fluorescent light fitting
and switch.
3. Installation of Zone 1 heater controlled via Zone
1 thermostat.
4. Installation of Zone 1 Stop/Start enclosure to control
the fume extraction units Zone 1 motor via a remote speed
control panel.
5. Installation of a separate sub-main distribution
board inside the warehouse local to the new production room.
This distribution board was fed through a contactor, which
was controlled via a Fireman's Switch on the wall adjacent
to the main door to the production room. Relevant notices
were placed at the Fireman's switch and distribution board.
6. To guarantee that the whole area was at the same
earth potential, we decided to install an earth spike locally.
From this we installed an earth bar into the production room,
along the wall and into the storage tank area. We then bonded
to this the following items:
