The Military Archives will act as permanent reminders of the centenary of the 1916 Rising, the armed insurrection which changed the course of Irish history. This archive facility allows for the consolidation of all Irish military archives material that is currently stored at a number of locations around the country into one national facility. It provides secure storage of archive material for circa 70,000 archive boxes, plus providing for the storage of ‘special media’ material, such as videos, film reels, photographs, microfilm, etc., which require specific storage conditions.

Established in 1907 in Aberystwyth, the National Library of Wales holds over 6.5 million books and periodicals, and the largest collections of archives, portraits, maps and photos in Wales. Bruynzeel utilised its full range of storage options to ensure all the material in the collection could be accommodated, including archive items such as notes, drawings and multimedia files, photographic negatives, plans, framed artworks and artefacts – even rolls of aerial photographs. Each length of track for the mobile shelving needed to be individually tailored, as every aisle length is unique due to the triangular shape of the storage area.

Housed in a French-style chateau in the picturesque market town of Barnard Castle, The Bowes Museum was founded in the late 19th Century. Treasures include furniture, textiles, paintings, sculptures and ceramics drawn from a range of European styles and periods. As part of an extensive renovation, the Bowes Museum doubled its storage space and improved conditions for its paintings and books by adding modern storage systems. Bruynzeel fitted out store rooms with ArteStore picture racking and installed Compactus mobile shelving in the archive and rare books store. In the library, Bruynzeel fitted Sysco static library shelving,.

Ede & Ravenscroft, renowned supplier of ceremonial robes, required a storage solution that met a number of specific criteria: gowns, mortarboards, gloves and sashes had to be properly protected from dust, light and mites for long periods of time, yet needed to be quickly and easily accessible by staff during intensely busy periods. Bruynzeel’s mobile shelving provided the most efficient use of floor space. A characteristic of the 4m high mobile shelving system is its wide “floating” aisle, which enables Ede and Ravenscroft to have multi-person access to the storage, giving a more efficient workflow during busy periods.

The plan involved changing the Lapworth from a very academic university museum into a public access museum located on campus. A total redevelopment was required. The museum wanted to make the stores more accessible too. The storage situation at the Lapworth had become critical, compounded by an influx of material in recent years. There was a real danger of damage to the collection. The stores were very inefficient. The only way they could house everything was by improving efficiency. Mobile shelving was chosen as the best option for efficient use of space.

Heritage Quay is the official archive of the University of Huddersfield. Previously they had nine separate storage locations in the building spread over four different floors. They had a big mould outbreak in one of the repositories before the move, and leaks too. By consolidating everything in one space they were able to increase efficiency and access. Improving the storage was a massive part of meeting current standards, and Bruynzeel went a long way to helping achieve Archive Service Accreditation.

The museum extended space to house the museum collection and to enable more items to be viewed by the public. Bruynzeel created a multifunctional space, allowing the opportunity for research, display and storage in an open archive gallery. A display and storage area was created that enabled the public to browse a variety of exhibits, as well as be easily accessible for staff to change and update displays. A high density on-site repository is provided, utilising Sysco®, Compactus® mobile shelving and picture racking, combined with cabinets that are straightforward for staff to operate, while remaining secure and tamper-proof.

Dudley Borough Archives and Local History Centre required a modern, archival facility for its valuable collection, having outgrown its previous home in Mount Pleasant, Coseley. They’d run out of space. In addition, they needed to get the environmental conditions right for archival material, and to do so in the existing building would not have been cost effective. A new building was the way forward. Bruynzeel supplied manual roller racking systems to maximise the capacity in the storage areas and allow space for a search room and exhibition space to guarantee fast public access to the collection.

Birmingham-based Ryan’s Removals and Storage provide a huge range of removal and storage services to businesses and private customers in the UK. Following a huge demand for storage space, Ryan’s Removals added a mezzanine floor to its facilities. This allowed Ryan’s to make the most of its space, doubling the number of units available to meet the growing demand.

A residential customer had a storage unit and wanted improve it by adding a green roof. M-Tray®, being modular in shape and easy to install, was the perfect solution. The green roof had to be walked through the house to access the garden. Traditional roll-out green roofs, with their loose substrate bags and loose sedum blankets were too messy to transport indoors. M-Tray® is self-contained within the walls of the plastic tray and comes with fully established, sustainable vegetation. M-Trays® clip together easily, allowing the sedum to blend together, providing a beautiful, seamless finish.

Shell Nederland operates a large fuel storage depot in Arnhem distributing fuel to gas stations throughout The Netherlands. With a number of storage tanks on site, regular maintenance to protect against corrosion is essential. In this instance, they required an internal lining for their Tank 214.Poor linings can result in substantial losses due to asset downtime as tanks and vessels are left out of action as a result of corrosion. It was essential that the tank was protected with a coating that would perform exceptionally with extremely corrosive contents, whilst maximising the assets lifetime and minimising downtime.Originally the project was set to be completed with another lining, but ultimately it was Hempaline Defend 630 Cure 72 Epoxy that was used.

Based on a proven formulation that has been used in more than 60% of the world’s offshore oil and gas facilities, Chartek 7E was the natural PFP choice to secure the specified lifetime of this vessel. This tried-and-tested formulation is the result of AkzoNobel’s decades of technology leadership and continuous innovation, powered by unrivalled testing capabilities that allow coatings to be exposed to a wide array of extreme conditions in order to measure resistance. Combined with the expertise gathered from protecting more than 6 million square meters of steelwork over the last 25 years with Chartek 7 alone, AkzoNobel is highly equipped to provide PFP solutions to the oil and gas industry worldwide.Chartek 7 is one of the core products of the Chartek range, with a track record of over 20 years providing exceptional protection against pool and jet fires, with proven long-term resistance against fire damage and corrosion.

With two processing trains for the separation of oil and water, and an average production capacity of 225,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, the Akpo FPSO is a high-value installation. The risk of catastrophic hydrocarbon fires was a significant concern during construction, as was the risk of metal corrosion in the harsh offshore conditions.With outstanding technical knowledge and a long, successful track record in the new-build FPSO market, AkzoNobel was selected as the protective coatings supplier for the project. Chosen from the market-leading Chartek range of fire protection products, Chartek 7 is a light-weight epoxy intumescent ideal for providing PFP (Passive Fire Protection) in offshore installations, due to its excellent water and chemical resistance.

T-T were contacted to provide a quote for a packaged pumping station, to take foul flows from an extension of Todmorden High School, West Yorkshire.

Ordinarily, pumping stations are sized for 24-hour emergency storage, however, on this occasion, an agreement between T-T’s clients and the council was reached to reduce the emergency storage to 12 hours. This was due to the occupancy of the building not being for a 24 hour period.
