The HBMAG is a comprehensive HVAC installation which is progressing well and keeping on track with Gemco’s overall programme.
We have installed the AHU’s onto the existing building’s roof which will enable us to complete all ductwork to the existing building.
The existing building has thrown a few challenges our way in regards to walls and ceilings not being plumb or level but our manufacturing and installation team has taken it all in their stride with fantastic results. We are approx. 65% through our physical installation - with a major part, the Chiller installation, due in the next few weeks.
HVAC, Sheetmetal, Engineering, Plumbing, Gasfitting and Electrical trades of the Tech Group came together to manufacture and install ducts, vents, exhausts, workbays throughout the new Trades Complex workshops at EIT, Napier. The project involved two stages and completion took place in July 2010.
