University of Westminster, Marylebone
Electrical Upgrade Works
Roblett Electrical Contractors were commissioned to modernise the electrical infrastructure in parts of the University of Westminster’s Marylebone campus. The project encompassed upgrades to improve energy efficiency, system reliability, and sustainability.
Challenges
The project posed several key challenges, including:
Legacy Electrical Components – Many existing installations required careful removal or adaptation to integrate with modern, efficient solutions.
Restricted Access Windows – Work had to be scheduled around university operations, requiring a phased approach to minimise disruption.
Compliance & Certification – The project had to meet stringent NICEIC regulations, ensuring all modifications adhered to safety and efficiency standards.
Solution
Roblett Electrical implemented a strategic approach to address these challenges:
Comprehensive System Audit – Conducting a detailed assessment of existing infrastructure to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement.
Energy-Efficient Upgrades – Installing modern electrical components, including LED lighting, optimised power distribution, and improved conduit systems to reduce energy consumption.
Compliance & Certification – Issuing NICEIC certification upon project completion, ensuring adherence to industry regulations and safety standards.
Minimal Disruption Approach – Implementing phased execution to prevent interference with academic activities, maintaining a smooth operational environment.
Outcome
The completed project delivered measurable benefits:
Enhanced Energy Efficiency – Modernised systems significantly reduced power consumption, lowering operational costs.
Improved System Reliability – Upgraded electrical infrastructure ensured greater stability, minimising the risk of failures.
Sustainability Advancements – The project contributed to the university’s environmental initiatives, integrating energy-efficient solutions.
Regulatory Compliance – The issuance of NICEIC certification confirmed adherence to industry standards and safety regulations.
Refined Workspace – The ceiling-based electrical improvements streamlined infrastructure while maintaining a clean, professional finish.
