Middlesex University, a leading institution renowned for its commitment to cutting-edge research and education, was in the process of developing a state-of-the-art lab in a brand-new building. As part of this development, the university required high-quality treadmills that could meet specific research needs. The team was also tasked with removing an older Woodway treadmill from their previous laboratory.
Background
After considering various options, Middlesex University chose to purchase two h/p/cosmos Saturn treadmills due to their exceptional build quality, performance, and the variety of sizes available, which matched the university’s unique requirements. h/p/cosmos provide a wide range of sizes, ensuring the university could acquire oversized machines suitable for their research.
Having heard of HaB’s excellent reputation in the industry, Middlesex University decided to engage HaB direct. This was not only for the procurement of the treadmills but also for their installation and commissioning. HaB’s expertise and experience with similar high-profile projects made them the obvious choice. The university was particularly impressed with HaB’s ability to handle complex installations and provide thorough training for their staff. Therefore ensuring the equipment would be used to its full potential.
The Challenge
The project presented several challenges. First, the oversized treadmills had to be carefully transported and installed in the new building while construction work was still ongoing. This required precise coordination between the HaB team, the university, and the construction crew to ensure the equipment was safely installed without disrupting the ongoing building work.
Another challenge was the removal of the old Woodway treadmill from the university’s previous lab. This needed to be done without any damage to the equipment or the existing facilities, ensuring a smooth transition to the new lab space.
Finally, once the lab spaces were completed, HaB needed to return to commission the treadmills. Additionally, they provided comprehensive training to the university staff. This phase was critical, as the equipment’s advanced features required detailed instruction to ensure users could operate it safely and effectively.
The Solution for Middlesex University
The HaB team brought their extensive experience and technical expertise to the project, ensuring a successful outcome. The installation was meticulously planned, taking into account the ongoing construction work. The team worked closely with the builders to navigate the logistical challenges, ensuring the treadmills were installed securely and on schedule.
Once the construction was completed, the HaB team returned to commission the treadmills. This involved setting up the equipment, calibrating it to the university’s specifications, and conducting a series of tests. The tests were to ensure everything was functioning correctly. The final step was providing hands-on training to the university staff. Thus ensuring they were fully equipped to use the treadmills for their research and educational purposes.
Conclusion
Middlesex University’s project was a significant success, thanks to the HaB team’s expertise and commitment to excellence. The two h/p/cosmos Saturn treadmills are now integral to the university’s new lab, supporting a wide range of research activities. The careful planning, professional installation, and thorough training provided by HaB have ensured that the equipment will serve the university’s needs for years to come.
This case study highlights HaB’s ability to handle complex projects involving high-end equipment, even in challenging circumstances. The successful collaboration with Middlesex University further cements HaB’s reputation as a trusted partner for institutions requiring top-tier service and products.
