Flexiwall partition for specialist manufacturing area – Hydram Engineering

Established in 1977, Hydram Engineering supplies precision sheet metal products, components and precision fabrications. They are one of the largest sheet metal fabrication companies in Europe, employing over 250 people at their 115,000 square foot facility.

Developments at Hydram Engineering meant that they required a separate space within the existing facility where they could manufacture specialist items. Having researched options, Westgate Global were approached regarding Flexiwall, an innovative system used to create floor to ceiling partitions in large spaces like factories and warehouses. Offering an over 99% dust tight seal, Flexiwall was ideal to create a three sided enclosure that would minimise dust in the area.

Flexiwall is easily installed within the structure and shape of the building, utilising all the existing steel work. Where additional steel work is required, Westgate fabricate and install this to simplify the purchasing process for the customer.

As a suspended and tensioned partition, Flexiwall only requires minimal floor space (tens of mm’s), and as such reduces the possibility of having to move existing equipment or operations. Flexiwall can also be easily reconfigured, moved or taken down should the needs of the business change, all without any lasting damage.

Hydram Engineering had a three sided Flexiwall enclosure installed, totalling 32m wide and at its highest point 7m high. A Flexicurtain access door (3m wide x 2.7m high) and vision panels were also incorporated into the installation.

Company logos were added to the final Flexiwall to provide a corporate and branded environment for employees and visitors.
