Birchall fits out precision factory
Building-services provider Birchall has completed a new eco-friendly factory for precision machinery specialist Olympus Engineering. Birchall installed warm-air ventilation throughout the 6500 m2 factory as part of an £800 000 contract. The work also involved fitting cold-water and compressed-air services in the production areas, which include quality-testing and precision-tool rooms where the equipment has to provide measurements to within a few microns.
Olympus Engineering has moved to the new factory from a split site elsewhere in the city to boost its efficiency and competitiveness.
The contract also included air-conditioning in the four offices and an energy-saving lighting system.
