Earth Day 2023

This year Earth Day has the theme to ‘invest in our planet’. The focus of this is to engage as many people as possible to participate in the theme and raise awareness of climate change and the effect it has on our planet.

At BSE3D we aim to ‘invest in our planet’ by investing in our staff. We recognise and identify with the need to take group action and the benefits of this. To ensure the buildings we design limit their contribution to global carbon emissions and climate change, we invest in our future by putting some of colleagues through Low Carbon Consultant training. This gives our team the ability to drive our projects forward towards net zero.

We also invest in our plant by allowing our staff to invest their time in STEM Ambassador projects. These expose the engineers of tomorrow to the problems of today and get them thinking of contributions and solutions to solve engineering problems.

Finally we invest in our projects by encouraging our clients to choose sustainable services strategies, even where fossil fuel options are viable to help decarbonise the UK’s building stock.

Wimbledon Site Progress

BSE3D were on site this week in Wimbledon at one of our high end residential projects. Our team designed the MEP services for this full refurbishment and remodelling project in London. Key areas include the new rear extension for the kitchen and bar area along with new outbuildings including a new tennis pavilion and a yoga studio.

The visit was a great opportunity to discuss detailed design elements with the team and view the current site progress to date. Moving forward we look towards the site monitoring stage, working the specialist subcontractors to deliver this project to a high standard for our client.

Uptime Institute Tier III Design Certification

Fantastic news that our team have achieved certification from the Uptime Institute for another data centre. This project has been awarded Tier III Certification for the Tier Certification Design Documents (TCDD).

Our team worked with all stakeholders during the TCDD process to present a comprehensive package to demonstrate Tier III compliance. This package is interrogated by Uptime Institute and certified to achieve this impressive award.

The location of this site in the Middle East added extra challenges for our specialist data centre team to engineer solutions to including extremely high ambient temperatures, dust laden environment in a tropical region and being close to the sea. These considerations were used to engineer a safe and reliable data centre that can perform under continuous full duty regardless of external conditions. Maintainability of all critical services were also designed to ensure no loss of service under failure or maintenance scenarios. To achieve concurrent maintainability, a combination of redundant services and dual feed equipment were used.

This data centre has now been awarded the Uptime Institute Design Certification foil. The project is now entering the next stage of Uptime Certification for Constructed Facility. This is the process of obtaining the foil for Certified Construction. The site is the second in a suite of facilities across the Middle East preparing to come online in 2023 that BSE3D have designed from conception.

If you would like to discuss your data centre requirements, please contact our data centre leads Graham Bowes or Philip Todd.

Chancery Lane Site Progress

What a difference a year makes! The images below show the on site progress of this Chancery Lane office. The first shows the office last year after strip out. The second shows the Cat A fit out office floor as we near this month’s practical completion and handover.

The office has gone from natural ventilation with floor standing fan coils, to full MVHR with ceiling recessed fan coil units all fully coordinated with the containment and recessed luminaires within a minimal ceiling void.

As is often the case when working within existing buildings, every week on this project has brought a new challenge as the job progressed. However, with good communication, coordination and teamwork across the whole project team, every challenge had a solution swiftly identified and implemented.
