Coventry University awarded a contract to E Manton Limited for the creation of a Hydrogen Testing Lab, Electronics Lab, and extension of the existing Battery Research Area in the C-Alps building.

The project includes extending the external plant area to store a new hydrogen trailer and MCP packs, installing a new blockwork wall to separate the hydrogen storage area, adding a new extract flue to the Hydrogen Testing Lab, and installing new work benches.

A new storage area with pedestrian gates will be installed to the east of the site to store two shipping containers, with associated services.

The existing bin enclosure will be amended and the footpath remodelled to create vehicle access for a hydrogen trailer.

New services will be installed in Project Office Area 2 Room on the first floor and in the existing TB Comms Rooms on the ground floor.

The contract value is AUD 1,394,218.
