CASE STUDIES

Chetwynd Barracks – Schematics

OUR CLIENT

VIVO Defence Services specialises in Defence FM and Housing, aiming to modernise the lived experience of our armed forces. We have worked with Vivo on various projects, including a plant room refurbishment at RAF Valley and looked forward to completing this schematics project with them.

THE BRIEF

Carrying out this project involved starting off with a site assessment, where our engineer inspected each room to understand the layout, the equipment they house, and any unique characteristics or challenges. He then developed detailed drawings for each plant room, illustrating the layout of equipment and systems and how they are connected. These schematics are then displayed in each plant room and uploaded as electronic files for convenient future reference.

IN THE END

Producing schematics, tags, and labels for plant rooms is a fundamental step in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and compliance of the 75 plant rooms that we were brought in to work on. It’s a proactive measure that contributes to smooth operations and cost savings over time.

Benjamin Stevens, Project Manager at VIVO commented,
“Working with Ford Mainwaring has been great, the collaborative working on this project has made it run smoothly and on time. Gary and Andy have been responsive to all queries and questions. I look forward to working with Ford Mainwaring in the future.”

The plant rooms are now up to date with accurate drawings and will serve to provide engineers with an accurate overview of each plant room, enabling them to carry out maintenance in a much more efficient manner.
