Cross Services Engineering Ltd - Cross Services Engineering help
Victrex reach new PEEK
Multi discipline engineer Cross Services Engineering
Limited (CSEL) has helped build and bring to full
operation a new production facility for world renowned
polymer manufacturer Victrex. The project encompassed
delivering electrical packages in a self contained
manufacturing facility, before assisting in the
installation of critical production machinery.
Victrex is the manufacturer of Victrex PEEK, a leading
highly durable and versatile polymer used for a wide
range of insulation materials and mechanical components
in aerospace, automotive, electronics and food
processing applications.
When the company required a new facility for the
production of its PEEK Film product, main contractor
Addison Projects turned to CSEL to deliver a number of
electrical systems to guarantee the safe and effective
operation of its two storey, self contained production
plant.
CSEL, working to the design specification of Addison
Projects, installed new distribution, lightening
protection, lighting and small power systems as well as
a HVAC system across the plant, ensuring the site's
management office, welfare areas and production floor
were safe for work, and provided a comfortable
environment for Victrex employees. It was also
responsible for installing the smoke detectors and high
specification fire alarm system. In addition, to
minimise the risk of surface mounted equipment at the
site, CSEL and Addison Projects worked closely to
install all electrical points at a correct and safe
level.
The second phase of the project involved the
installation and commissioning of a film extrusion and
rolling machine that was central to the production
process of PEEK Film. As Victrex had a number of
customer pre-orders to fulfil, time was of the essence.
Working alongside machine manufacturer Davies Standard,
CSEL engineers installed the electrical components of
the machine, ensuring that the electrical supply met all
necessary specifications. This allowed production to
begin at the site on schedule.
Brian Greenhalgh, project manager for CSEL comments:
"Having completed many industrial projects for clients
such as Saffil, GlaxoSmithKline and Pilkington, CSEL is
well positioned to undertake projects with a demanding
brief and tight project deadlines, and we welcome such
opportunities."
"At Victrex we have collaborated with a range of
engineering companies to deliver a fully operational,
high specification building
infrastructure and emergency system which will enable
Victrex to continue manufacturing a highly valued
product for many years to come."
