Design flexibility and technical support

When BAM gave us the opportunity to work with them on various School projects, VES were able to offer assistance with project design and development, as well as manufacture and supply of numerous air handling units to multiple sites across the country.

Challenge

Working on new School builds can prove challenging, needing to work within existing space restraints, reviewing drawings for clashes with other services as well as guaranteeing performance whilst ensuring compliance with all legislation and regulations.

We needed to work closely with our client for each school, remaining flexible in our approach to ensure our solutions were tailored to meet the consultant’s design. Our experience and approach gave BAM confidence in VES to support the project designers and provide technical support to the client’s project managers before and during delivery of the project.

VES develop a new product design specification for air handling units

Solution

Due to our strong relationship with our client, and our drive to deliver the right solution, VES were able to work on an existing standard product – our Ecovent Counterflow range – to develop a new product design specification for air handling units and controls specifically to meet our client’s requirements. This is now a standard format for all Ecovent Counterflow units built for BAM schools.

Results

We now have VES equipment installed on site at multiple schools across the country, and have now developed our relationship to the point where we are a preferred supplier for BAM. We are also currently working with BAM on designs for more Schools in the South West.
