Our Work
Aircraft Component Spray Booth Ventilation & Filter System
Project Type: Aviation Parts Spray Booth
Scope of Works: Filter Box & Ventilation Installation
Project Overview
We were appointed to supply and install the ventilation and filtration system for a compact spray booth used in the refinishing of aircraft components.
In aviation finishing, airflow control and effective filtration are critical. The client required a system that would maintain a clean, controlled spray environment while ensuring safe extraction of overspray and airborne particles.
Our scope focused solely on delivering a high-performance filter box and ventilation solution to integrate into the new booth structure.
The Requirement
- Maintain positive airflow within the spray area
- Capture overspray efficiently
- Provide consistent, balanced air movement
- Protect finished components from contamination
- Ensure a safe working environment
Our Solution
Rear Extraction Filter Box
- Multi-panel filtration bank
- Even air draw across the working area
- Replaceable filter media
- Durable, easy-clean construction
- Integrated support framework
Results
- Efficient overspray capture
- Stable airflow conditions
- Reduced contamination risk
- Improved operator safety
- Reliable performance for precision aviation work
Major Ventilation Upgrade at Salford Royal Hospital
Our team successfully completed the replacement of three large-scale extraction fans at Salford Royal Hospital as part of a wider initiative to improve air quality and ventilation efficiency throughout the facility. These critical systems help maintain safe, hygienic airflow in clinical environments, making the upgrade essential to hospital operations.
Client: Salford Royal Hospital (Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust)
Scope of Works
- Removal of three end-of-life extraction fans
- Installation of three new high-capacity units
- Testing, commissioning, and integration into the existing ventilation network
- Completed within a live hospital environment with strict safety controls
Key Challenges
1. Restricted Access to Plant Area
Access was limited to a small hatch, barely large enough to manoeuvre each fan through. Precise measurement and specialist lifting solutions were required to avoid building fabric damage.
2. Heavy Lifting in a Sensitive Environment
All work was carried out on a plant roof above active clinical areas. A detailed lifting plan, strict noise and vibration controls, and full coordination with the hospital estates team ensured zero disruption.
Solutions & Approach
- Specialist Rigging & Lifting Strategy using compact lifting frames suitable for tight spaces.
- Phased Removal & Installation, breaking down and reassembling each fan in situ.
- Daily Collaboration with Hospital Teams to maintain clinical continuity.
- Quality-Focused Commissioning to balance and optimise airflow performance.
Outcome
The project was delivered safely, on schedule, and without any operational disruption. The new installation significantly improves extraction performance, supports compliance with HTM requirements, and future-proofs air delivery across key hospital areas.
Client Benefits
- Improved ventilation performance across the hospital
- Lower risk of breakdown thanks to modern, reliable equipment
- Enhanced control and balancing of extraction systems
- Future-proofed airflow for clinical and plant areas
Spray Booth Installation – Franklin Products
We’re proud to announce our first major spray booth project! We recently supplied two 3-metre booths and one 4-metre booth for Franklin Products in Milton Keynes. One unit is ducted externally, while the other two are recirculating booths equipped with advanced filter systems.
All booths were fabricated, assembled, and delivered complete with fans, filters, and lighting. We also carried out the external ducting on one booth, ensuring a durable, weather-sealed connection to the corrugated roof.
This project marks an exciting step forward for us as we continue expanding our capabilities in custom spray booth design and installation.
Extraction Hood and Local Ducting Systems
We installed a large extraction hood and ducting system (11 metres long by 4 metres wide) as a local extract system for a work area, helping create a safer and cleaner environment.
How It Works
- The extraction hood pulls contaminated air into the ducting system.
- The air is removed safely from the building.
- The system is efficient, quiet, and long-lasting.
- Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials.
- Easy to maintain and built for long service life.
The project was completed on time with excellent results and improved air quality for workers.
Stainless Steel Canopies
We manufacture and install high-quality stainless steel canopies, paired with full ventilation systems including baffle filters, ducting, and extraction fans.
