Tender Details
Containerised Research Laboratory - Market Testing Exercise
Project Background:
The University of Bristol is looking to procure an off-site manufactured, prefabricated research laboratory, delivered as a containerised or modular building system. The facility will be used to test technologies involving pyrophoric materials, requiring a high level of safety, environmental control and security.
Our current (but not yet fixed) concept is a facility formed from two combined 40ft container modules, fitted out off-site and delivered to our site (a large warehouse-style hanger) ready for final integration.
Key anticipated features include:
- Fully prefabricated modular laboratory construction.
- Laboratory can be manufactured quickly.
- Laboratory can be quickly decommissioned, easily moved to another site and recommissioned.
- Very high security design to meet controlled material handling requirements.
- High level of fire safety and uses fire resistant materials.
- Non-water-based fire suppression system (water incompatible with materials).
- Very high integrity enclosure (safe from accidental water ingress).
- Continuous temperature control.
- Low-humidity environment (
