This new 60,000 sq ft commercial laundry facility, based in Southampton for Berendsen PLC, was designed to allow the processing of over 1 million individual items of medical and hospital laundry per week.

The project required working closely with various manufacturers of the laundry plant and equipment to design the building services required to operate this new ultra-efficient commercial process facility. The M&E systems in the development included energy efficient heat recovery systems, a major water treatment facility, water reclamation systems, steam and compressed air distribution and extensive process ventilation systems.

A particular problem which Wintech had to overcome on this project was the fact that much of the laundry equipment was sourced from outside the UK and great care had to be taken in ensuring that translation of wording was correct and that the actual measurement units of any data provided were carefully checked

The main complication on the project was integrating the multiple complex services around the very extensive process equipment, equipment gantries, monorails etc.

Wintech took the lead in this respect integrating the 3D models of the various equipment suppliers with the MEP models to ensure buildability and maintainability of both the MEP services and process equipment.
