New factory design and installation for HSL

As the UK’s leading manufacturer of back-care chairs, recliners and adjustable beds, HSL’s focus is on making life easier for others. So when the company approached AES to design the electrical installation for its new factory, the team put in every effort to make life easier for HSL.

An important part of the design element comprised liaising with the client to ensure the electrical installation would meet current requirements and accommodate future growth.

The installation designed by AES included a high-level power trunking system to allow the machines and other equipment
to be easily moved and worked on in the future. Meanwhile, a standby generator was installed to provide resilience from supply losses – ensuring that in the event of a power out, the manufacturing operation could carry on regardless.

The works were carried out in 12 weeks, which meant that production was able to start on the new site in the new year.

As well as completing a comprehensive design of the client’s new electrical installation, the full works carried out by AES included the following:

 

  • Main power to machinery and equipment provided by a high-level power trunking and cable ladder support system for use by all services, not just electrical
  • Modifications to the landlord’s addresable fire alarm to provide detection to new areas
  • Standby generator installed to provide site resilience to power failure
  • Modification of extraction system to include soft start operation of main motors
  • Production of electrical drawings where required for machinery where original drawings were not present
  • Small power and lighting to storage areas
  • Data installation to factory areas
  • Upgrade to machine safety systems where required, including machine guarding, interlocks and braking modules.
