A complete electrical installation for a large warehouse and offices in Watford

MSL Electrical Ltd was appointed to design and deliver the complete electrical installation at Saniflo Watford, a large installation project in Hertfordshire.

Working alongside Ashtons Ltd and the wider project team, MSL Electrical delivered a comprehensive electrical infrastructure designed around the requirements of a highly energy-conscious client.

From initial design and containment through to installation, testing and certification, MSL Electrical provided a complete electrical contracting service throughout the project.

Engineering Challenges

Saniflo Watford presented a number of significant installation challenges.

The property features exceptionally high ceilings, requiring specialist access scissor lifts to safely carry out installation works. Cable routing was also particularly demanding due to the extensive exposed large structural RSJ beams throughout the building.

Careful planning of cable routing and specialist RSJ cable clamps were used to safely and efficiently run cables throughout the building.

A Coordinated Approach

MSL Electrical worked closely with the construction team to overcome these challenges through detailed planning, careful cable routing and continual coordination with other trades.

Electrical routes were planned around the structural timberwork and building services, ensuring that the installation could be delivered efficiently without compromising the finished appearance of the property.

Working at significant heights required appropriate access equipment and safe working procedures, allowing the installation to progress safely while maintaining the high standards expected on a prestigious residential project.

Energy Conscious Design

Energy efficiency was an important consideration for the client.

The electrical installation was developed to complement the property’s energy-conscious design, incorporating modern technologies including EV charging, PV Solar panels, renewable technology and super-efficient warehouse Highbay LED lighting with separate microwave sensors on each.

The result is an electrical installation designed not only for today’s requirements but also to provide the flexibility and infrastructure required for the home’s future needs.

Quality From Design to Handover

MSL Electrical maintained a focus on quality throughout every stage of the project.

The installation was completed with appropriate inspection and testing, commissioning and certification, providing the client and construction team with confidence in the safety, performance and compliance of the completed electrical systems.

The Result

The completed installation provides Drapers Barn with a sophisticated electrical infrastructure matching the quality and ambition of the building itself.

By combining detailed electrical design, careful installation and close coordination with the wider construction team, MSL Electrical successfully delivered a technically challenging installation within a unique and demanding building environment.
