Summary of Project
The supply, installation, testing and commissioning was needed for several systems that were implemented in the refurbishment of the Guildhall east and west crypts. A replacement of the existing lighting installation was required within the Guildhall 11th century crypts, including the provision of new energy efficient LED luminaires. The provision of new static inverter systems to provide emergency lighting to the crypts was also used to keep in line with the current regulations at the time. Employment of a conservational building specialist to repaint all mortar after cabling installation was completed was also necessary to maintain the appearance of the crypts as if the area had remained untouched.
