Survival technology manufacturingSurvitec Group
A contained manufacturing area so cooling systems could hold the temperatures MOD-compliant testing depends on.
What Survitec Group needed
Survitec needed to hold specific temperatures in their factory for certain manufacturing processes to work.
They needed a wall around the manufacturing area so their cooling systems could be effective.
The solutionWhat we installed
Durascreen® in PX1000 fabric was recommended for a wall to contain the cooled area.
- Translucent fabric, so light levels stay high inside the walled area
- Dust-tight V-overlap joins
- Foam infills across the head of the screen for a dust-tight seal
- Pedestrian doors for easy movement through the wall
The finished installation
I can highly recommend this type of system as our new large well-insulated facility retains a great deal of heat especially during the summer months.
Survitec Defence manufacture lifesaving products globally for most NATO countries and we have to produce to strict MOD compliances, this means a temperature of 19 to 25 degrees must be maintained for our adhesive and inflation testing processes.
The DBC installation of the 15.6 metre high and 50+ metre wide screen went in quickly and efficiently and the finished look of the screen is impressive.
The fitters were professional, safe and polite, making every effort not to disrupt our production processes. These guys worked well with the AC engineers (B-Engineering) who installed the AC cooling system. I have monitored the performance of the recently installed system over the last week or so and while the rest of the factory was sometimes peaking at 34 degrees the cooled area stayed steady between 20 and 22.5 degrees.
We are now looking at Phase 2 of the cooling project for other areas of the site using the same technology and companies.

It's now the coolest place in the factory, because it's so much easier to extract hot air.

Dust and excess heat from a plastic granulator contained, so it stopped affecting other processes in the factory.
