Having worked with Westgate Global previously, a global pharmaceutical company (and their engineering consultants) knew they could rely on Westgate Global to divide this particular facility during a construction project and support on contamination…

Dust containment was a major consideration on this project due to there being a number of surrounding shops, live cafe area on the third floor and continued access to the general public, so Marshall (Building Contractors) Ltd needed a full enclosure including a ceiling that would stop any dust contamination throughout the rest of the building.

Westgate Global were required to help deliver the design, supply and installation of a temporary corridor on two levels, which would link a new pier to the existing terminal whilst the terminal extension was still being fitted out.

Westgate Global were invited to install Flexiscreen to assist Kerry whilst installing a new production line without disrupting current manufacturing.

Due to the strong relationship with Birds Eye, Westgate Global were asked to facilitate a solution. Flexiscreen was recommended for a number of reasons, with the first of those being specific to this project: Flexiscreen can be easily installed at an angle, which is a very big advantage over conventional temporary screening methods.

Morgan Sindall had been contracted by Heathrow Airport Ltd and British Airways to modernise hangars at the West London airport in preparation for the arrival of the new airbus. This will allow greater flexibility of working space during maintenance…

“The ability to keep production moving whilst important construction works are in progress is paramount… with Flexiscreen, Westgate Global ensured we could achieve this.”

Hoardfast panels were installed to create a separate room for contamination control, along with Flexidoors (crash doors).

Creating a barrier between two varying functions is no new concept, but creating a building screen within budget, to tight project timescales and with the guarantee of a quality product is the difficult part; not for Westgate!
