Environmental Design Partnership has extensive experience in public transport passenger terminals and cargo related facilities and buildings.
These facilities have a high volume throughput of passengers requiring high speed communications for processing/information, extensive baggage handling including carousels, conveyors and horizontal transportation systems. HVAC is provided by a variable high capacity quick response heating ventilation system including energy recovery and air quality detection. Extensive external flood lighting is a major requirement and high bay high mast cluster units are used to achieve this. To provide management control and communications, addressable electronic signage system and directional signs including extensive public address systems both internal and external of the facilities were provided.
Cargo handling facilities were also major requirements and these services were provided for some of the major Ferry Terminal companies and included administration and marshalling facilities, process facilities and a high level of external infrastructure to facilitate the various cargo handling equipment.
It was necessary to recognise the corrosive atmosphere and the adverse effects of the environment on all equipment and services thus requiring high specification to provide a high life cycle requirement.
