BAE Systems Case Study

BAE Systems

When BAE Systems needed a laboratory area to be refurbished they turned to Birley Manufacturing to supply their new installation.

The brief required that the old work surfaces and shelf infils be removed and replaced with ESD types to bring the lab up to standard.

The existing frames were from a selection of suppliers over the years and required careful fitting of new tops to give a uniform look. In addition, undershelf and overhead lights, end panels and tops for existing cabinets were added.

A new fitted Lab area was also supplied with new fixed furniture incorporating fume extraction and Cable Reel storage leaving a smart new working environment.

Philip Hingley, Business Development Manager for Birley said, "the job was particularly interesting as we were working with a selection of existing products with varying specifications which we were asked to cost effectively refurbish. Despite having differing existing frames we were able to provide an end result that was modern, practical, cost effective and with a uniform finish."

Group Leader Microwave & Electronic Integration Technology Gary Panaghiston of BAE Systems Advanced Technology Centre added, "The work that Birley did was to a high standard and fulfilled the brief we set them. We were very pleased with the end result which is supporting BAE Systems ongoing investment programme and maintaining our position as one of the leading innovators and manufacturing organisations within the UK."
