Getting it right for research
A total of 10,000 air distribution products from Waterloo Air Products UK have been installed in the new Francis Crick Institute, one of Europe’s leading biomedical research laboratories

aterloo’s products play a part in creating the right air flow to meet the conditions needed to carry out successful research in
the central London laboratory. The Francis Crick Institute carries out important
research on the biology underlying human health and disease.
With advancing technologies and research methods, the institute has been constructed to make sure the environment in which the tests are carried out provides the best conditions possible to conduct accurate and successful research.
Lab air, underground air and general air all
required different air flow and distribution conditions.
In total 15 different types of Waterloo air distribution devices were used throughout the building, including, over 4,000 non-standard Laminar Flow diffusers supplied each with different configurations, lengths and spigot sizes to meet the various air flow requirements. “This project is a fantastic opportunity for us to
play a role in such an important facility,” says Ron Edmondson, managing director, Waterloo Air
Products. “For such a large-scale development, our adjustable products and our expertise enabled us to meet the various levels of air tightness required to prevent contamination, and also provide a comfortable working environment for employees. “Due to such a large volume of products,
combined with managing the evolving requirements, a collaborative approach was required. We worked closely with Crown House Technologies (CHt) to ensure the correct air distribution systems were specified and available on site to meet the tight deadlines of the project.”
