    Our expertise

    Our considerable experience working in laboratory environments and meeting the specific challenges of working in the busy Edinburgh University grounds proved invaluable for this project.

     

    The challenges

    These works were conducted during term time at Edinburgh University, resulting in a busy environment with live services still feeding many other areas of the building. We also had to undertake a specialist mechanical installation in the building due to the necessity for lab gasses.
