High-security environments bring their own challenge when it comes to effective ventilation and climate control – large numbers of people in confined spaces requires careful design and well-planned ventilation system maintenance to ensure the wellbeing of staff and other building occupants. They also bring the challenge of additional security clearance for engineers and other conditions, all of which Salix has achieved.
We Have Experience
Salix has worked in a number of prisons including HMP Highdown, HMP Highpoint, HMP The Mount to name a few. Most of this work has been in relation to the repair and refurbishment of Air Handling Units, ensuring adequate and sufficient fresh air ventilation to spaces.
