The store was previously trading as a Somerfield prior to its acquisition by Waitrose, and was Guardian’s second such store of 2009, after the successful works at Waitrose Haslemere.

 
 

Guardian stripped out most of the redundant electrical services within the store and installed new systems as below.

The Guardian remit was for the full electrical package which included design input; the design remit was taken from a scope issued via the client’s electrical consultant, P.S.H.


  

The working period was only a fortnight, and this short project therefore required day and night work, 24/7 for the two weeks on site. Guardian also had restrictions due to noise, limiting the external working activities to daytime working only, during the week as well as at weekends.

Due to the installation of a whole new sales area ceiling, the Guardian installation included a complete replacement of all the sales area lighting.


 

Guardian installed a new manual generator change-over panel and new remote distribution boards. Modifications were carried out to the H&V panels on the ground and first floors, to facilitate new plant being installed.

Systems installed

  • Fire Alarm
  • CCTV
  • Intruder Alarm
  • Branch Management System (BMS)
  • H&V
  • Refrigeration
  • Public Address
  • New Comms Room and Epos Data System, including 2 No. UPS's & Cat 6 Telephones
  • Front of House Lighting, installed to Waitrose MK V specification
  • Service Departments
  • Hospitality Area

The job ran very smoothly on site due to an outstanding site team, and the site Forman Mick Jackson, carrying out all tasks to a high standard.


 

Waitrose Saxmundham was opened on schedule, on Thursday, 7th May 2009.
