Equipment and flow
Screening equipment is heavy and technical. Scanners, conveyors and detection machines require specific floor loading, clearances, power and data, and some need radiation shielding or specific installation by the manufacturer. The layout has to balance queue length, privacy, accessibility and staff sightlines.
Equipment is typically supplied and specified by the authority or screening provider. We prepare the space to those requirements and coordinate with their installers.
Power, data and finishes
Our electrical crew, led by a Master Electrician, provides dedicated circuits, emergency power connections, lighting and floor boxes. Our mechanical crew handles ventilation and cooling, since equipment and crowds generate heat. Our low voltage group, led by Adam Mason, installs structured cabling, surveillance, access control, alarms and communications.
Our interior crews build secure enclosures, divider walls, screening rooms, supervisor stations and queue elements, with ceilings and finishes that are durable and easy to clean. Our door and hardware team installs secure doors and access hardware.

What to plan for
Work in these areas often takes place at night or in phases, so screening can continue. Temporary lanes and routes are common. Approvals involve the owner, the screening authority and building regulators, so allow time for each.
Equipment delivery and installation dates should be fixed early, because the construction has to finish before the equipment arrives. Plan for future capacity, with spare conduit and space for more lanes. That makes later upgrades cheaper and less disruptive.
Safe, orderly delivery
Screening areas are sensitive. We control access to the work zone, secure materials and keep drawings confidential where required. Workers follow the owner's security procedures, and we maintain clear records of who was on site.
Our project managers brief the whole team before work begins, and brief again when scope changes.
