DURATION

8 weeks

Overview

BSN Electrical Ltd recently completed a comprehensive electrical installation at The Edge Digbeth, the home of Friction Arts, a socially engaging arts organisation and an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. Situated in the Deritend/Highgate area of Birmingham, The Edge provides a creative hub for community-driven projects and artistic programs.

Challenges

One of the most demanding aspects of this project was the tight turnaround of 8 weeks. To meet the ambitious timeline, we drew upon our team’s 25+ years of experience in commercial shop fitting and optimised our approach to maximise efficiency on-site. We meticulously planned each phase of work to ensure seamless execution, keeping quality and precision at the forefront.

Despite the time constraints, our team delivered the project on schedule and to the highest standards, ensuring The Edge Digbeth is equipped with a modern, robust, and visually striking electrical system.

Solutions & Implementation

The project involved the installation of a complete new electrical system, including:

Lighting: Emergency and feature lighting to complement the artistic space.
Small Power Distribution: Providing power and infrastructure for various operational needs.
Fire Alarm System: Ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Disabled Refuge System: Enhancing accessibility for those with mobility challenges.
Intruder Alarm System: Strengthening security measures for the facility.

Results & Impact

The completed installation not only met the functional requirements but also contributed to the industrial aesthetic of The Edge Digbeth, reinforcing its creative identity. Our commitment to excellence and ability to adapt to challenging schedules ensured a successful delivery, supporting Friction Arts in their continued mission to inspire and engage communities through their work.
