Monodraught Diamond Dome Sunpipes installed at SIC

Monodraught's 1,000mm Diamond Dome Sunpipes have been installed within two buildings at Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus (SIC).

Harry Fairclough Construction of Warrington has a term contract with Daresbury SIC for general maintenance, and also tenders for individual construction projects on the site.

The company has recently won separate contracts for a UHV building and for the refurbishment and conversion of an existing storage area into an engineering workshop.

Both buildings are attached to S Block - a 1,000m2 magnet build and test facility - and are the first buildings to be fitted with the recently launched Diamond Dome Sunpipes.

Sunpipes were first installed on the site more than ten years ago to bring natural daylight into a number of buildings in order to improve working environments.

As Monodraught Sunpipes are already installed in other buildings on the site, it was decided to fit Sunpipes in the UHV building and engineering workshop to introduce natural daylight.

To meet the specifications for both buildings, Monodraught recommended its new 1,000mm Sunpipes, and supplied and installed ten systems in each area.

Monodraught has now introduced the 1,000mm model into its successful Diamond Dome range, which was designed specifically to meet the demand for higher lux levels in the UK and mainland Europe, where buildings are increasingly being designed with ceiling heights of 12m or more.

Sunpipe is a registered trademark owned by Monodraught.
