The units were made off site, with Trox fitting the BMS controls, wiring, Crane commissioning-valve assemblies and special brackets to reduce commissioning time on site.
Trox worked closely with the design team from an early stage in the project and offered a series of guarantees. The site offers 65 500 m2 of office accommodation and can provide flexibility for both large and small business.
