The background:
Halsall delivered a brand-new facility for Gulfstream Jets, built alongside Farnborough Airport specifically for servicing and repair works on Gulfstream Jets. The world class facility has been created from initial concept to final delivery. A new LV supply was installed to the building, which was later requested by the client to be upgraded to an HV supply once the full electrical loads were realised as the project developed. New LV panels were installed in the main switch room which fed sub-distribution boards and in turn local distribution boards throughout all areas including “The Customer Tower”- a 3 storey office area includes a stunning visitor platform overlooking the runway.
