Health & Safety - JSA's Top Priority
Health and safety is always at the forefront of everyone’s mind whenever a new job starts here at JSA Service. A recent project undertaken for a new Air Handling Unit and Heat Recovery System that took place on a building by the Kent coast, brought some of its own challenges.
Issues began to arise as there was very little space to install the system required, undeterred, JSA Service made several site visits and carefully made detailed drawings of the layout, whilst working with suppliers to design a system that not only fits into the tight space allocated but also to ensure the client meets the Part L building regulations.
The Challenges
A few unique challenges that occurred included:
- Restricted access to the roof via a cat ladder, with numerous heavy tools and equipment to get to the roof area.
- A heavy footfall.
- Co-ordinating other works being completed on-site.
- Keeping a careful eye on the weather that can change in an instant.
The Solution
With health and safety coming first, JSA Service managed to secure the site and complete the works safely by:
- Installing an access staircase to the roof area.
- Securing the roof with hand rails.
- Implementing a mechanical hoist to make easy work transferring the heavy equipment on and off the roof.
- Working with the client to create exclusion zones around the premises to reduce the risk should anything fall from the roof.
Overall the great co-ordination with the clients health and safety team along with the experience our team here at JSA Service have, the project was managed safely, on time and to the clients expectations.

A Full Turnkey HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Project offers several significant benefits for commercial clients. Here are some of the key advantages: Single-Point Responsibility: With a full turnkey project, you have a single point of contact responsible for the entire project, from design to installation and ongoing maintenance. This simplifies project management, reduces communication challenges, and streamlines accountability. Cost Efficiency: Turnkey projects often result in cost savings due to economies of scale. The project manager can negotiate better deals with suppliers, optimize resource allocation, and minimize costly delays. Faster Project Completion: The streamlined process of a turnkey project typically leads to quicker project completion. Since the project team is integrated and works cohesively, there are fewer delays and bottlenecks. Quality Assurance: The project manager oversees all aspects of the project, ensuring that quality standards are met at every stage. This reduces the risk of defects or subpar workmanship. Reduced Risk: By entrusting the project to a single experienced contractor, clients can minimize their exposure to risk. The contractor assumes responsibility for managing unexpected issues, such as design changes or unforeseen construction challenges. Customised Solutions: A full turnkey project allows for tailored HVAC solutions that meet the specific needs of the client. The design, equipment selection, and installation are all customized to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. Simplified Communication: Clients don't have to coordinate between multiple contractors, which can be complex and time-consuming. Instead, they can communicate directly with the project manager, ensuring clarity and efficiency. Energy Efficiency: HVAC experts can design and install systems that are highly energy-efficient, resulting in lower long-term operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint. Compliance and Regulations: The project manager is responsible for ensuring that all necessary permits and regulations are adhered to, reducing the risk of non-compliance issues. Maintenance and Support: Many full turnkey HVAC projects include ongoing maintenance and support contracts. This ensures that the HVAC system continues to operate efficiently over its lifespan, reducing downtime and repair costs. Peace of Mind: Clients can have peace of mind knowing that their HVAC project is in the hands of professionals who have the expertise and experience to deliver a successful outcome. In summary, a Full Turnkey HVAC Project offers convenience, cost-efficiency, and quality assurance. It simplifies the process for clients while providing them with customised, energy-efficient HVAC solutions that meet their specific needs and compliance requirements. It's a comprehensive approach that ensures a successful and hassle-free HVAC installation and operation.
