Wentworth Castle, New Visitor & Conservatory Reconstruction in Wentworth

Main Contractor : William Anelay Ltd

Client: Wentworth Castle Trust

Type: Specified

Procurement: Tendered and Negotiated

Location: Wentworth, South Yorkshire

Project Value: £240,000

The Project

This project involved the building of a new visitor centre attached to the existing Victorian conservatory and the refurbishment of the existing conservatory.

The Solution

The works involved carrying out the main electrical and mechanical services including rainwater harvesting, under floor heating, etc.

The difficulty with this project was bringing the new visitor centre together with the conservatory in aspects of lighting, heating etc. The heating within the conservatory was carried out utilising gilled tube heating around the perimeter and within the existing floor ducting. The main visitor centre utilised under floor heating with main condensing system boilers within the plant room.

The new roof on the visitor centre had a seeded roof irrigation system installed as part of the works to assist with the carbon footprint of the building.

The rainwater harvesting system installed utilised both new and existing underground water tanks to feed the new toilet facilities within the new visitor centre.

The scheme required a complex BMS (Building Management System) along with pulsed metering to enable conformity with Breeam regulations.

The lighting has been carried out using various different lighting manufactures to offer an aesthetically pleasing solution to the end users of the building. This included the use of LED and dimmable controls with a central static invertor being used for the emergency lighting.

Other elements of our works involved with this project were Mains distribution, data, fire alarm, General power, Hot water services, mains Gas services and intruder alarm to offer the client a total end solution.

Whitby Abbey Visitor Centre, North Yorkshire

Main Contractor: William Birch & Sons Ltd

Client: English Heritage

Type: Specified

Procurement: Tendered and Negotiated

Location: Whitby, North Yorkshire

Project Value: £136,000

The Project

This was a very challenging project, the client, English heritage have a responsibility to take care of the existing structures which involved designing the electrical services around the existing structure to enhance the building.

The Solution

We utilised a stainless steel floor trunking and steel conduit systems to supply general power / data throughout the building for the retail area.

The lighting was designed to enhance the oak latted ceilings with recessed high level lighting general / emergency and feature lighting.

Other services within the building included Lightning Protection utilising the building structure and foundations, CCTV, fire alarm installation and intruder alarms as well as the heating controls.

We also had the responsibility of installing the external lighting to the Abbey itself to enhance its mystery and features. As this is located on the headland it could be seen for miles around so obtaining the correct lamp colour to enhance the stonework was the critical part of this installation. We used a combination of both Metal halide AND Son lamps to achieve this.

Main Contractor: William Birch & Sons Ltd
Client: Malton School
Type: Specified
Procurement: Tendered and Negotiated
Location: Malton, North Yorkshire
Project Value: £141,000

The Project

John Wright were appointed as Yorkshire Electrical Contractors to undertake major electrical contract work for William Birch and Son for a new design and build Sports Centre, Malton, Yorkshire.

The project was to provide an indoor sports facility along with changing facilities and an outdoor Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) pitch for both the school and also for local residents.

The Solution

We provided all the electrical contract services.

Power, General lighting, CCTV, Intruder and Fire Alarm Systems, Disabled Alarm, PA System and induction hearing loops along with a New Data System. Lighting to the MUGA pitch was carried out utilising Abacus raise / lower columns for ease of maintenance.

New electric mains were run from the main school to new distribution equipment within the sports hall plant room, with supplies taken to feed the external MUGA pitch lighting.

General and Emergency lighting was designed and installed to achieve economic and cost effective yet energy efficient, to achieve Breeam requirements.

The Fire Alarm was linked back to the school’s system to show fire, fault signals along with the digital CCTV system. This was installed using fibre optic cabling linked back to the main school.

The MUGA pitch lighting required special consideration and design due to the bats living in the local vicinity. This was achieved by the use of specially designed reflectors installed and manufactured within the fittings to avoid light spillage away from the local hedge rows.

Project completed on time and on budget.
