Collina MEP have been appointed to carry out the M&E tender design for the UK wide roll out of new Sephora Stores. Sephora are expanding the number of stores across the UK, planning the opening of 5-10 new stores a year. 

 

Collina’s role includes tender design of all proposed new M&E systems within each store. These systems include new LED lighting, mechanical heating, cooling and ventilation, above ground drainage, fire & security and all relevant containment required. As part of our role we carry out detailed co-ordination of each store with the architects and structural engineers to assist with the quick construction programme on each.

Collina MEP have been an integral part of Kendall Kingscott’s Harrods consulting team to deliver a number of projects across the Harrods Estate.  

 

The largest project to date is the replacement of the external façade lighting for the entire Knightsbridge store. This involves the removal of over 15,000 light fittings and replacing these with new, energy efficient LED lighting. The lighting has been designed to be intelligent and linked to a central control system allowing lighting scenes and programmes to be added and utilised by the client. 

Other notable projects include the new Harrods Chocolate Cold Store located beneath the Knightsbridge store (Basement Level). This project involved additional cooling capacity within the space to maintain the temperature required for chocolate storage for the store. 

 

To assist Harrods with the ongoing operation of the building, Collina has also been appointed to provide new power to the new site-wide fire alarm system. 

Collina was the M&E consultant working on behalf of Hendy Motor Group to design the M&E services for their new multi-million-pound car dealership in Eastleigh. The building was designed with sustainability and efficiency at the forefront of the facility.

 

The building is connected to the local district heating network as well as having a large photovoltaic array installed on the roof and energy efficient systems throughout, including LED lighting and local electric hot water. Collina worked closely with the design team and client to provide thermal modelling to determine the most thermally efficient building envelope to reduce thermal losses. The building achieved BREEAM Excellent and an EPC rating of A, ensuring that the client has a building that is energy efficient with low running costs.
