Anechoic Chamber

Cambium Networks

Company

Cambium Networks are an international telecommunications company providing wireless broadband through access and backhaul radios in more than 150 countries.

Requirement

Stancold was contracted to design and build an insulated room suitable for radio testing. The room size was 5.50m x 4.50m x 2.50m high.

Solution

Our team quickly identified the potential access issues during the site survey. This enabled us to plan the works around the specialist equipment that we employed to lift the materials into the required location.

The product is top quality, communication throughout the project was very good...

Specialist Chiller For Sake, London

Japanese Beverage Distributor

Background

Japanese food and drink has grown in popularity and a new client needed to expand and adapt their facility to enable them to better serve their UK and European customers.

Process

The client required our expertise to build frozen and chilled storage alongside a distribution warehouse for Europe’s biggest importer and developer of Japanese food and drink.

Project Delivery

A series of rooms for storage and distribution including a freezer space. To enable easy access for the client’s team, we installed a 3m wide x 4m high rapid-rise door and because of the high value and storage requirements of Sake, a separate chiller was created, alongside the vegetable chiller for fresh produce.

To keep the products at the correct temperature during loading we also installed a dock chiller.

It was an exciting project that required us to provide solutions for different food and drink products as well as the different stages of storage and distribution

Sub-Dividing Firewall For New Warehouse Tenants

Choose Design Ltd

Background

Stancold were approached by maritime repair services provider Choose Design Ltd who were looking for a contractor to help sub-divide their industrial warehouse in Southampton. Where temporary walls previously existed, compliant passive fire protection was now a key requirement to accommodate new tenants.

Process

Following the submission of initial budget costs, our team conducted a detailed site survey to fully understand the space and the client’s project requirements.

The main project challenges included:

Designing a solution that made efficient use of an existing live warehouse space
Utilising both vertical and horizontal installation methods to maximise cost efficiency
Delivering the project with minimal disruption to the client’s ongoing operations on site

Project Delivery

We specified panels to achieve the 60-minute required fire-rating. We were on site within 6 weeks from initial contact.

We drew on our rich technical knowledge in fire-partitioning which meant that we were able to suggest installing the panel system that utilised the existing steelwork on site, as well as implementing vertical and horizontal installation methods which reduced costs for the client.

To make the most efficient use of the available space, a dog-leg design was implemented allowing the client to sub-divide a specific area of their warehouse more precisely than a single straight partition would allow.

We worked effectively across the live site to ensure a swift project handover of just 2 weeks, allowing Choose Design to welcome their new tenants with minimal hassle.

The team worked well to minimise disruption on a live site

External Separation Firewalls For Live Biomass Plant

DNO Consulting Ltd

Background

Following recent changes to fire safety regulations for energy plants across the UK, Stancold was appointed by DNO Consulting Ltd to design and install an external firewall at an energy plant in Barry.

Process

The project required a highly specialist solution, sitting at the intersection of fire-rated partitioning expertise and the technical demands of high voltage energy infrastructure.

Stancold adopted a collaborative approach to this project. Our wealth of knowledge with internal fire-rated partitioning paired with DNO Consulting Ltd’s experience in the high voltage industry played a key part in developing a bespoke concept and design for the external firewall structure.

The structure was to sit between a generator and reactor, so in the unlikely event of a fire, it will act as a core barrier against the spread of flame.

The main project challenges included:

Designing and installing an external firewall capable of withstanding outdoor elements while achieving the required fire rating
Working safely around live, operational high voltage machinery throughout the installation
Translating internal fire-rated partitioning expertise into a bespoke external application

Project Delivery

Stancold installed Euroclad Mineral Fibre 125mm panels with an externally treated finish to withstand the outdoor environment, completed with fireboarding to the steelwork and overcladding in steel for maximum structural durability.

Health and safety was paramount throughout this project. With the client’s high voltage machinery remaining operational during installation, our project management and installation team carefully planned and executed every stage of the works to maintain a safe working environment at all times.

Our collaborative approach ensured all contractors on site were fully informed throughout the installation leading to a successful project completion that was handed over to a satisfied end user.

Our extensive firewall knowledge helped to develop the concept for this project

Partition Walls For Self Storage & Delivery Centre, Bedford

Storing.com Ltd

Background

Our client asked us to generate an end-to-end solution for their warehouse based just outside of London.

Process

The project required a segmentation wall in a designated area of the warehouse to enable targeted heating, creating a comfortable working environment for staff.

The key challenge of this project was to ensure we created the optimum climatic environment for the warehouse workers with minimal disruption to warehouse access.

Project Delivery

Our team successfully provided a bespoke solution within strict timelines.

Drawing on our design team’s expert advice, we created a distinct climate-controlled zone that allows efficient heating of staff areas while maintaining easy access to the main warehouse via strip curtain.

The client praised our “excellent product and installation” highlighting the value of our competitive solution that balanced cost-effectiveness with operational practicality.

You keep everything sharp and work on schedule. Keep this up and I can't see any room for improvement
