ICH Services successfully delivered a comprehensive commercial mechanical and electrical design and installation upgrade at Waitrose Muswell Hill. The project covered the sales floor, warehouse, and external areas, enhancing electrical systems, lighting, HVAC, and drainage. All work was carefully planned to maintain normal store operations throughout the project.
Before the upgrade, Waitrose Muswell Hill faced several operational challenges:
Inadequate lighting in sales areas, warehouse, and external zones, affecting energy efficiency and working conditions.
Insufficient power supply for chilled display units, food-to-go signage, and self-checkouts (SCOs).
Aging HVAC systems and ductwork limiting airflow and comfort.
External drainage issues affecting warehouse operations.
ICH Services delivered a phased upgrade program, covering both mechanical and electrical installation and design:
Electrical Installation & Design
Installed new external lighting to improve safety and visibility..
Upgraded sales floor track lighting and spotlights for energy-efficient illumination and enhanced customer experience.
Provided reliable power supply to chilled display cases, food-to-go signage, and self checkout counters.
Enhanced warehouse lighting to improve operational safety.
Mechanical Installation & Design
Installed new external drainage for warehouse CUBO units.
Relocated AC cassettes and installed new ductwork with swan-neck roof penetration to optimize airflow for lighting and comfort.
Elevated condensers 450mm above roof level with new containment and pipework.
Installed new overdoor heaters, drainage pumps, and venting above warehouse CUBO units to ensure compliance and environmental control.
The upgrades delivered measurable benefits:
Improved lighting performance across sales floor, warehouse, and external areas.
Enhanced energy efficiency through modern lighting and optimised power distribution.
Optimised HVAC performance, improving comfort for staff and customers.
Reliable power supply for critical equipment, including chilled display units and self checkout counters.
