Tiger Rack Shelving Contract Provides Essential Storage Facilities at Centre for Ecology and Hydrology
By Doity Engineering Ltd, PRNETuesday, June 1, 2010
ROCHDALE, England, June 2, 2010 - Over 60 Tiger Rack modular shelving units have created essential storage
space at the new GBP10.5 million Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH)
research facility at Wallingford in Oxfordshire.
With a contract value in excess of GBP20,000, the polypropylene-coated
shelving has the hygienic and easy-to-clean properties that are an important
consideration in the work of CEH.
Widely regarded as the UK's centre of excellence for integrated research
into land and freshwater ecosystems - and part of the National Environment
Research Council - CEH employs 450 people at five major sites in England,
Scotland and Wales.
The new 3,300 square-metre research facility at Wallingford includes
high-grade laboratory space for chemistry and molecular biology. It is on
this site where Tiger Rack hygienic shelving is providing essential storage
support facilities.
Alex Reeve, an Associate with architects R H Partnership of Cambridge,
London and Brighton, is clear why Tiger Rack was specified for the CEH
project:
"We chose Tiger Rack primarily for its cleanability and to avoid
corrosion in cold rooms," said Alex. "Ease of installation was another
factor. On this project, it was undertaken by the main building contractor."

matter which company won the tender to handle the overall project. As a vote
of confidence, it doesn't come much better than that!"
