FULL ELECTRICAL DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF NEWLY BUILT VEHICLE INSPECTION AREA, PHOTO STUDIO AND REFURBISHMENT CENTRE
SMART FLEET SOLUTIONS IS LOCATED IN COLD MEECE, STAFFORDSHIRE, A VAST 36 ACRE SITE WITH STORAGE CAPACITY FOR 4,500 VEHICLES
Smart Fleet Solutions The site has been purpose built to provide a solution to a notoriously laboursome task: to de-fleet vehicles through inspection and refurbishment. The facility at Cold Meece offers vehicle inspections, refurbishment and repair, expert valet service, storage and vehicle reporting.
One Way were appointed for the Electrical design and installation of two new purpose built units housing a vehicle inspection line and vehicle image studio, also an extension to the existing bodywork repair workshop and refurbishment of offices. The two units and extension covers 2564m² in floor area. While the main aim was to install power supplies to the clients equipment and to light the work areas, cutting running costs were high on the agenda. We achieved this by installing presence detectors to lighting in all areas along with daylight sensors to minimise the misuse of lighting. An addressable fire detection system was installed linking the two new buildings to give accurate location of a device in a fire condition. The HV transformer was upgraded from a 500kVA to a 800kVA.
Our site logistics are very critical for continual work and One Way worked around our needs to ensure minimal interruption. The upgraded LED lighting in the office areas now has reduced number of light fittings with better light output and a reduction in our annual running and maintenance costs.
