Project Overview

The project involved a comprehensive ventilation upgrade to the Electrical & Mechanical installation of new roof mounted AHU’s and Chillers to serve the existing maternity theatres at 4th Floor Level. For the new mechanical equipment polycarbonate IP rated isolators were installed with new plant room heavy duty cable tray along with roof mounted cable containment to support new supply cables.

To the 4^th floor maternity theatres, anaesthetic room including scrub up areas electrical isolations were carried to achieve a full strip out back to shell arrangement ready for phased refurbishment.

Project Overview

 

This project involved a comprehensive Electrical & Mechanical installation at Moreten Morrell College, supporting the conversion of multiple existing spaces into modern, functional educational environments. The works included three converted barn buildings, a dedicated SEN (Special Educational Needs) teaching space, and the transformation of a previously redundant area into a new reception space. All areas were vacant during the works, allowing for a coordinated and efficient installation programme.

Project Scope

 

The electrical works were carried out across five distinct areas and included:

• Installation of Luceco LED lighting throughout all spaces
• Installation of small power and associated power distribution
• Design and installation of electrical containment systems
• Electrical provision tailored to SEN teaching requirements
• Electrical installation to support a new reception area
• Full testing, inspection, and certification

 

Buildings & Areas

• Three converted barns repurposed for construction-based education
• Workshop 1 (Joinery Workshop) fitted out to support joinery and woodworking education
• Workshop 2 (Bricklaying Workshop) designed to support bricklaying and masonry training
• SEN teaching space designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind
• Former redundant store areas converted into usable storage and teaching support spaces

 

Electrical Solutions Delivered

 

Lighting

• High-efficiency Luceco LED lighting installed throughout including external wall mounted fittings.

• Containment routes carefully planned to suit existing barn structures
• Practical and tidy installations providing ease of future maintenance or expansion

 

SEN Teaching Space Considerations

The SEN teaching space was delivered with specific attention to:

• Clear and uncluttered containment routes
• Accessible power and lighting solutions
• Calm, consistent lighting levels to support a range of learning needs
• Compliance with best practice guidance for SEN environments

 

Converted Store Areas

Former redundant store areas were reconfigured and upgraded to provide practical storage and support spaces for the new workshops and teaching areas. The electrical installation included:

• New lighting to improve visibility and safety
• Power provision to support tools, equipment, and maintenance requirements
• Electrical infrastructure designed to suit construction-focused educational use

 

Fire Alarm Installation

The fire alarm installation formed part of Mealey Electrical’s scope of works and was delivered to provide comprehensive life safety coverage across the Tausky and SEN buildings.

• An addressable fire alarm system installed throughout all areas of the Tausky and SEN buildings
• Manual call points installed at every exit point
• Smoke detectors installed within all open areas, store rooms, offices, and voids
• Fire alarm control panel installed within the SEN area, positioned for clear visibility and ease of access
• Relay boxes installed within the ceiling void above the alarm panel location

Mealey Electrical Contractors were appointed to deliver a comprehensive lighting replacement at the De Montfort University in Leicester which consisted of five floors in the John Whitehead building. The objective was to modernise ageing lighting infrastructure, improve lighting quality and consistency across teaching and circulation areas, and reduce energy consumption and maintenance demands by transitioning to modern LED lighting solutions.

Mealey Electrical Contractors completed a full lighting replacement across the following areas :

• Lower Ground Floor

• Ground Floor

• First Floor

• Second Floor

• Third Floor

Typical scope elements included:

• Removal and disposal of existing luminaires and associated redundant equipment (in accordance with waste regulations).

• Supply and installation of new LED luminaires suited to each area type Fagerhult (e.g., corridors, classrooms, offices, communal spaces).

• Integration and testing of lighting controls where applicable (e.g., occupancy/daylight control or local switching—depending on the area’s requirements).

• Emergency lighting provision, testing, and certification as required.

• Electrical testing, commissioning, and handover documentation.

Following completion, DMU received a modernised lighting installation across five floors with benefits typically including:

• Reduced energy consumption through lower-wattage LED lighting and improved control where fitted.

• Improved light quality (better uniformity, reduced flicker, and improved visual comfort).

• Lower maintenance burden due to longer LED lifespans and fewer component failures.

• Improved consistency of lighting appearance and performance across floors.

• Compliance-ready documentation to support building management and future maintenance.

• Smart controls Kinetic switching system installed.

Mealey Electrical Contractors provided a structured handover package typically including:

• • Commissioning results and test certification (as applicable).

  • Asset information for installed lighting (type/locations where recorded).

  • As fitted drawings including circuit references.

• • Operating guidance for any installed controls.

  • Recommended maintenance approach for LED and emergency lighting systems.

Thank you to all the sponsors and participants who contributed to our Mealey Golf day, well done everybody. We raised £2,150.00 which was donated to Alzheimer’s Society.
We received a confirmation email from them today please see below. Looking forward to next year

Dear Janet Eggleton

We can achieve so much more when we come together. Thank you so much to everyone at Mealey Electrical Contractors Ltd for raising a fantastic £2,150.00
from your chairty golf day on the 17th October, we hope you enjoyed the day!. We will ensure that we make every penny count to drive our crucial work.

There are an estimated 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this number will only rise in the coming years. By 2040, there are likely to be nearly 1.6 million people living with dementia in the UK. The total cost of health and social care, including unpaid care by friends and family, for people living with dementia in the UK is currently £34.7 billion per year, and this is projected to rise to £94.1 billion per year in 2040. As things stand, two-thirds of these costs are paid by people living with dementia and their families.

We’ll make sure that your donation is put to good use, whether it’s spent on campaigning governments to make dementia the priority it should be or delivering vital services across the UK. You’re making a huge difference.

Just one of the vital services we provide is Talking Point, our online safe space, where a trouble shared can become a trouble halved. People accessing Talking Point can learn from each other’s experiences, share their frustrations and their knowledge of local services. Talking Point lets people living with dementia share and learn from each other in a safe online space. Just £50 means 312 people can access this site any time, day or night.

Once again, thank you.

Yours sincerely
