Ventilation upgrade at Jersey’s Reclamation Centre.
Assess ageing equipment and provide a reliable solution suited to coastal conditions.
Bespoke, corrosion-protected axial fans, installed and commissioned over two weekends.
The Government of Jersey appointed Woods Air Movement to assess the existing ventilation fans and determine whether refurbishment or replacement would provide the most appropriate long-term solution.
A specialist Woods engineer travelled to the island to inspect the equipment, record detailed measurements and evaluate its operational condition. The findings were documented in a formal report, which recommended replacement to meet the site’s long-term reliability requirements.
Following the assessment, Woods designed and manufactured four bespoke axial fans: two 2,000 mm units and two 1,400 mm units.
The coastal location made corrosion protection a key consideration. All four fans received a C5 marine-grade protective coating, applied internally and externally to help protect the equipment against the demanding conditions.
The fans were manufactured and delivered in two phases, with removal and installation planned alongside the client and their appointed crane contractor.
Work took place across two weekends to minimise disruption to the Reclamation Centre. The programme covered removal of the existing equipment, lifting and positioning of the new fans, mechanical installation, alignment and commissioning.
Close coordination between Woods, the client and the crane contractor enabled installation to finish ahead of programme. The client was able to release the crane one day early, delivering a direct cost saving.
The completed project provided a bespoke replacement ventilation solution tailored to the site’s operational needs and coastal environment. The client was extremely satisfied with both the equipment and the delivery of the works.
