South Ribble Tennis Centre

A recent project carried out during 2001 on behalf of Dew Construction Limited for South Ribble County Council.

The installation included internal lighting (to comply with the Lawn Tennis Association requirements), emergency lighting, external lighting, fire alarms, intruder alarms, lightning protection, distribution, power, CCTV, public address system and telephone system.

The installation comprised of four new indoor tennis courts, gym, aerobics studio, fitness suite, shop, viewing gallery and various ancillary areas.

Special considerations were taken into account during the design of the lighting installation to meet with the LTA's requirements, fittings were arranged so that they were not in the centre of the field of view during play, and not within a clear height zone of the court.

Care was also taken to avoid glare from the installation caused by either the location of the fittings or contrast between the source and the surface of the hall.

This was achieved by installing the luminaires along the edges of the tennis courts and slightly angling the fittings towards the tennis courts playing area.

A recent £100,000.00 plus contract carried out for Williams Tarr & Co Ltd.

The installation was a complete new build within Rochdale. The works carried out included, Mains distribution, lighting, power, analogue addressable fire alarm, intruder alarm, access control, lightning protection and data containment.

The building was architect designed, with an exterior of 90% glass and it was specified that all containment should be totally concealed.

With no false ceilings or chasing, this was achieved by installing the containment and wiring for all services within the floating computer floors on the above floors and making the final connections through the floor slab.

The Mains Distribution installation consisted of a Castell lock, Automatic / Manual change over system, which changes mains to generator back up on mains failure. A UPS system was also installed to all computer equipment.

All small power to the open plan offices was carried out utilising 3 compartment floor boxes, c/w power, data and voice outlets. All wiring was concealed within the floor voids on a containment system of galvanised tray. The installation was carried out in 2001.
