Industrial Sector
Being certain that the air in industrial spaces is clean is a common concern. You may have existing HVAC and filters installed, but how do you know they work as well as they did when they were freshly installed? With staff's health on the line, we need to be confident that any air quality measures are sufficient in circulating clean air and removing harmful pollutants.
From air quality testing to ventilation validation and ductwork cleaning, we have the knowledge to keep your building safe and compliant. We are effective at diagnosing air quality-related issues through a range of available testing methods and we have the knowledge to identify, install, or maintain air handling units, filters, ductwork, and air quality sensors.
At ARM Environments, we understand that ventilation isn't going to solve every problem. To meet compliance, many people rely on a quick-fix, like installing a new filter or an extra ventilation intake, instead of digging deeper to understand the root causes of poor air quality. Our expert team are capable of identifying sources of pollutants and can provide bespoke solutions best-suited to each specific industrial space. If you’re concerned about the impact of air quality on your workforce or operations, get in touch or explore our range of services to find out how we can help you create a safer, more productive industrial environment.

AHU Installation and Air Cleaning Technologies in Northamptonshire for Aston Martin HQ, Silverstone
Objectives
We were contacted in 2022 to support the development of a new state-of-the-art 15,000m² HQ for Aston Martin's racing team. This space would occupy two floors and encompass varied spaces enabling all aspects of Formula 1's elite car design, cutting-edge R&D, top-of-the-line manufacturing equipment, efficient assembly, and high-tech testing. The team specified that low levels of particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and odours would be required to maintain a safe, healthy, and productive workspace.
Solutions
To meet these specifications, we used some of the latest and greatest electronic air cleaning solutions. We utilised fan coil bipolar ionisers unique to ARM to effectively reduce the levels of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and PMs. We also installed UVC filters into the air handling units (AHUs) which keep the heating and cooling coils clean and eliminate organic matter like bacteria which are caught in the filter. This UVGI air purifier technology keeps the internal components clean, resulting in lowered maintenance costs in the long-term.
Results
ARM were effective in collaborating with the client to deliver outstanding air quality in their new HQ. We successfully met their key design specification criteria with our industry-leading, future-proofed air purification methods. Furthermore, by installing UVGI systems, the company will be saving money in the long term, due to less frequent maintenance visits, whilst also enjoying fresh, sterile air.
Challenges
- Specific design specifications
- High profile project
- Industry focus on sustainability & wellbeing
"In-person collaboration is often an essential requirement for high-performing teams. It was critical that worries about IAQ did not distract the Aston Martin Formula 1 team from their jobs. Their building has been fitted with the latest clean air systems, so they can concentrate on building a championship winning car"
