Project Type: Sanquhar Academy
Product: Replacement Potable water cold water storage tanks
Time Specification: Urgent – Critical cold water storage
Due to COVID-19 the Sanquhar Academy was closed but kept its kitchens open to supply meals for the vulnerable. This meant a constant hot & cold water supply had to be kept for kitchen use and toilets.
The academies existing water tank failed which stopped the school from producing meals for the vulnerable in its communities and surrounding areas including halting any potential reopening on Government instruction.
The existing tank on site was 3x2x2m sectional tank holding 12,000Litres which was over capacity had access issues and leaking from its base.
From initial inquiry to installation our team completed within 5 days.
Project Type: SEC Glasgow – Emergency Hospital Build
Product: Potable water cold water storage tanks
Time Specification: Urgent – Critical cold water storage
Nicholson Plastics Ltd have completed an order to supply the NHS Scotland hospital in the Scottish Events Campus (SEC) Glasgow with three one piece cold water storage tanks with a combined nominal capacity 5580L in less than 24hrs.
The SEC building will initially hold 300 beds within a fortnight and can cater for an additional 1000 beds at full capacity. The site, which normally hosts exhibitions, shows, conferences and concerts, was closed to the public earlier this month. The Glasgow complex was identified as the best site for a temporary hospital due to its central location, transportation links and size.
Our team are working under exceptional circumstances to provide urgent water storage to hospitals and care homes throughout the UK.
