About

UK Research & Innovation awarded a contract to Sanber Limited for the refurbishment of the R55 Deuteration Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, following a major fire in May 2021.

The project involved reinstating the facility to full operational capacity, including replacement and refitting of utilities, fume cupboards, furniture, and synthetic and analytical equipment damaged by heat, smoke, and water.

The fit-out incorporated the latest safety designs for fume cupboards, laboratory equipment, and furniture, and included a purpose-built BMS system to optimize energy efficiency by balancing extract and supply air while maintaining internal comfort temperature.

Provision, installation, and commissioning covered HVAC, furniture, ceiling and flooring, electrical and mechanical fit, water and specialist gases, and gas detection systems.

The contract value was AUD 885,089.52.
