This is the rebuilt fan unit with new bearings, anti-vibration mountings and sub-frame plus stripped down and re-built motor, new flexible connectors, drive belts etc.

What you are also looking at is a saving to the client of many thousands of pounds given that the alternative - as suggested by their previous maintenance contractor - was a new fan unit and motor! Refurbishment cost the client just 25% of the cost of a replacement unit and a refurbished fan, properly maintained will give this client 10 - 15 years of trouble free service.

McEwens, in common with many retailers these days, have recognised the commercial benefits of providing a comfortable shopping environment. Benefits such as greater staff productivity and most important the tendency for customers to linger 'in-store' and perhaps part with a little more of their hard earned money.

In a second phase contract we have also supplied Natural Ventilation 'Wind-Catchers' for McEwens newly developed Watergate site providing fresh air free of charge through existing roof penetrations in an architecturally sympathetic form.

Another success in this area was the complete refurbishment of 4 air handling units at the busiest heliport in the world - Aberdeen Helicopter Terminal facility for Bond Helicopters.  

Where our competition wanted Bond to scrap the existing systems (a mere 10 years after first installing them) we advised that rebuilding was the best option.  This was agreed and carried out in 1996 saving the terminal over £30,000.  Since that time a twice yearly maintenance visit has been the only attention required and the units look good to provide at least a further 10 years service.
