The UK’s leading independent air movement specialist, Gilberts Blackpool, is playing a key role in helping keep a major engineering project on track.
Gilberts has provided the ventilation louvre systems to Morgan Sindall for M&E elements of the Crossrail Pudding Mill Portal project.
The project comprises construction of a tunnel portal, a new elevated station for the Docklands Light Railway and an Emergency Intervention Point Building. The latter allows access for emergency services, provides an evacuation point and serves to ventilate the associated tunnels.
Gilberts’ WH75 high performance louvres have been supplied to deliver the ventilation. Created from a series of kit form louvres, supplemented by penthouse turret housings on the roof to provide efficient stack ventilation, single bank screens have been integrated into the concrete cladding.
