DSS LTD STEPS UP TO COMPLETE HALF-FINISHED DUCTWORK INSTALLATION AT ULSTER UNIVERSITY BELFAST CAMPUS… DUCTWORK
D SS Ltd was employed by Sacyr to complete the installation of 28 fume cupboards and 37 specialised ventilation exhausts from hazardous environments throughout the building mainly in research laboratories. The scope of works included the supply, install and commission of a full ATEX filtration extraction system in the first- floor timber machine shop; fully filtered industrial extraction units to operate in a state-of-the-art concrete laboratory and an asphalt laboratory. DSS Ltd also completed the installation of an electronic cleanroom to a very high standard. Martin Ryan, Managing Director, said, “This project is one of the largest DSS Ltd has ever been involved in, with over 65 separate exhausts, all with different requirements ranging from low to high
velocity systems at 5m/s to over 20m/s in other hazardous areas. The various duct routes covers 3-4 blocks over 10 floors with the longest run of ductwork to be over 350m long.” A separate contractor started the ductwork installation but ran into issues regarding changes to current regulations in the industry half way through the project. As a specialist contractor involved in LEV extraction, DSS Ltd was employed to complete the installation on all systems with the understanding they would be fully complying with the latest government regulations. Commenting on the completed job Steven said, “It was extremely satisfying to turn on all LEV extracts knowing we met such a high criterion asked for by the University. “Sacyr is a great builder and went out
of its way to help us accomplish a high- quality design and installation. DSS Ltd hope this is the first of many projects we will be involved in with Sacyr.”
