Challenges
- This was a building that could not be closed during works being carried out, meaning areas of work in offices that need to be carried out at night.
- We were unable to get a road closure for crane lift to move condensers to the roof. After mulitople options being explored it was decided we would break down units, manually manoevre to the roof and rebuilt by Panasonic Approved specialist maintaining warrenty of the kit.
The Brief
Calstan Mechanical were instructed by B&M McHugh to carry out the installation of new Air Conditioning Units within Atrium Court, a council owned building. The existing systems were life expired and with the spare parts becoming obsolete, it was decided to install a new system.

Removal of all 20 Sanyo Cassette units, including pipework, cabling, and drainage. Disposal of gas, air conditioning units and waste materials removed from site and disposed of in compliance with F-Gas regulations.
