Client: BES.

End user: Terumo Aortic.

Location: Glasgow.
Overview
Terumo Aortic expanded its operations with a 2400m2 manufacturing facility to meet increased production demands. A key feature of this project was installing a walk-in fume cupboard and fume extraction system to ensure employee safety and compliance with industry standards.
Challenges
The client required several specialist fume cupboard features to suit their application including increased chamber height, earth points, electrical outlets, humidity sensors, data ports and bespoke vertical sash/hinged door combination for equipment access. The dedicated extract system needed to run 24/7 with measures introduced to minimise downtime for maintenance or repairs.
Solutions
Working alongside our valued client BES, our team developed a fume cupboard design specifically tailored to suit the client’s needs, including traditional walk in fume cupboards, and an enlarged extract booth for individual processes. Great care was taken with colour matching the surrounding wall finish and positioning between the “bookend” structural columns at each side. The Polypropylene Fume Extract system was designed with a run & standby fan arrangement for system redundancy and structural steel stack support frame.
Results
The project highlights Terumo Aortic’s commitment to safety and efficiency, supporting current needs while preparing for future growth and showcasing the high level of quality provided by our experienced team.
