CREST Complete Turnkey Cold Store Build for Biotechnology Provider
14 August 2023
As part of wider refurbishment works for a biotechnology services provider in Cambridgeshire, CREST recently worked closely with South-East engineering contractor, Cravencroft.
Located in the sample storage area of a laboratory, the +4°C cold store specified N+1 redundancy capabilities as part of its operation which required an experienced contractor to confidently undertake all elements of this package.
Satisfied with the level of detail provided from CREST during tender stage, Cravencroft appointed the team as the turnkey cold storage contractor for this project.
CREST’s dedicated installation team successfully supplied and installed a cold store with an N+1 refrigeration system that met the temperature specification. This included an auto changeover function to initiate the backup system if necessary.
The room itself was to be housed within a number of other traditional build rooms, generating a tight co-ordination programme for CREST’s first fix refrigeration works. Once complete, other trades were scheduled to carry out their responsibilities before our installation team could continue their build package.
This was another successful pharmaceutical cold store contract for CREST, utilising key technical expertise for the safe storage of high-value sample materials.
