When you’re supporting vital medical research, every component of your building services infrastructure matters. That’s why, when an oncology laboratory experienced a sudden issue with one of its Air Handling Units (AHUs), the Motor Division at APDS was called in to resolve it, fast.
The Problem:
An overnight fault had caused the AHU to break free from its vibration mounts due to snapped mount springs. The AHU plays a crucial role in regulating airflow and maintaining a stable, sterile environment, essential for ongoing research and compliance with HVAC standards.
To prevent immediate failure, the lab’s on-site engineers acted quickly, propping the unit up with timber blocks to keep it functional in the short term. It was a smart move that kept the airflow system running while a permanent solution was arranged.
The Solution:
The APDS team was promptly dispatched to site, equipped with four new, purpose-specified vibration mounts. After carefully lifting the AHU and removing the temporary supports, our engineers installed the new mounts with precision, restoring proper vibration isolation and structural integrity.
The Result:
- Minimal disruption to lab operations
- Zero downtime for ongoing research
- Continued environmental control and compliance
Once again, our team delivered a fast, right-first-time solution where reliability was non-negotiable.
If your business relies on AHUs, motors, or any part of your HVAC system to maintain critical environments, make sure APDS is your first call when things go wrong, and your trusted partner for keeping them right.
