For obvious technical reasons, each client cannot be serviced separately, so each one has to be monitored separately for energy, airflow and water usage..
There are lots of specialists for lab furniture, with the lab users being a good resource for their preferred manufacturer or issues with their current furniture.Understanding what the users want the laboratory furniture for will enable us to provide the correct solution.
Often it’s just a worktop for a piece of lab equipment to sit on or for writing-up, but sometimes it’s storage or mobile benching.For storage solutions, we will always try to find out what users plan to store in the unit, as sometimes it may require ventilation to prevent the build-up of gases.. We have had issues with the floor specification not being suitable for specific chemical spills, and even with the impact resistance for when the client installs their laboratory equipment.The users will often be able to help with the specification of finishes, but typically wipe-down surfaces are suitable for most applications..
When it comes to lab sinks, it is important to determine what the lab sink is for before selecting a standard unit.Metal sinks are often not suitable for chemical discharge, and an epoxy or other material lab sink should be selected.
Non-standard sinks come in non-standard sizes, and large lab sinks need to be supported due to the potential for a large mass of water within.
As well as splashbacks, there should be no gaps between lab furniture and lab sinks as dirt can accumulate.We must be ready to act and put the right strategies into place globally: licensing, siting, public acceptability, supply chain strategies etc.
All of these elements need to be designed and ready to go as soon as the world is ready for them.The opportunity will soon be here.
If we look back at the last twenty years, examining large sectors like retail, ecommerce and entertainment, we see that all of these areas have undergone enormous, fundamental shifts as a result of rapid technological adoption.Embracing new nuclear, advanced heat solutions as part of our climate crisis toolkit presents a similarly transformative opportunity.. Bryden Wood is delighted to be part of the Repowering Coal project, and to be providing the MMC design solution that will enable the work to be delivered at the necessary scale.
