BSEE Advertorial Gilberts’ background role in improving police estate efficiency


improved energy efficiency. A key component of the enhanced energy efficiency is the ventilation­ delivered throughout the 12,800m2 space by Gilberts Blackpool. Funded under the Scape framework, the HQ has been designed by Ryder Architects and built by Willmott Dixon, with M&E designed and installed by A & B Engineering.The new facility, Rose Hill, overlooks Scotland Road and one of the famous Mersey Tunnels in Liverpool. The four­storey offices around a central three­storey atrium feature exposed building services to maintain the airy ambience within the open plan office space, designed to be flexible and adaptable to the Force’s changing needs. Necessitated by the highly urban location, mechanical

ventilation/ air conditioning has been installed throughout, with diffusers from Gilberts strategically delivering high levels of ventilation and indoor air quality in the whole complex. The main atrium has Gilberts’ JN jet nozzles, powder coated in black. The JN jet nozzles are designed to deliver a high volume of air over long distances, particularly where spot heating/cooling is required and branch ducting cannot be fitted such as atria. Each diffuser can be individually angled to optimise ventilation coverage within the ventilated space whether heating, cooling or isothermal conditions. The nozzles have been used previously in atria within the Merseyside Police estate and proven to work well for the client. The offices in the main building and annex are aired primarily by Gilberts’ GSLS linear slot diffusers, GTD concealed swirl diffusers mounted directly behind SAS perforated tiles and GSFR swirl diffusers with coanda plates positioned between acoustic rafts across office spaces with exposed services. The coanda plates provide an architecturally aesthetic solution to achieving

efficient distribution of the incoming fresh air across the occupied space without cold “dumping” – often a factor in offices with exposed services and thus no ceiling for the incoming air to cling to. Meeting spaces feature Gilberts’ PG perforated face diffusers


inset into suspended feature “ceiling” grids above seating. Thus, the ventilation blends into the décor whilst providing a uniform air distribution. Gilberts’ SX air valves ventilate the toilets. The forensics laboratories are aired by Gilberts’ PGL


perforated laminar flow panels. The panels provide high capacity supply ventilation with a low free ventilation area (15%). Unlike a conventional ceiling diffuser the Laminar Flow Panel provides an equalised turbulence­free input of air into the treated zone creating a vertical air projection with little in the way of back drafts or inter­mixing. Thus, a clean un­ contaminated air zone can be created.

WHAT’S NEW Explosion proof pipework


acob pipe systems not only have to guarantee the highest level of safety, but also a long service life. A challenge that JACOB was able to solve with a product innovation.


Abrasive conveying mediums cause wear and the breakdown of manufacturing process.By lining the pipe system with DURABLE DESIGN wear protection, you can extend the service life of the pipe parts. In order to reduce the risk of electrostatic charges, the JACOB


Group, in cooperation with other partners, implemented a conductive pipe system that meets all the necessary ATEX conformities. Wear protection lining "Kryptane Blau" can be installed in a


large number of pipe components and is conductive in this combination. The complex new development is the first of its kind and has already been successfully tested for effectiveness by DEKRA. You can find out more about Jacob's wear protection program on the website.
