The Ham Yard Hotel is a luxury hotel located in the heart of London. In the midst of Soho and moments from Mayfair, Ham Yard has an urban village feel and offers guests exceptional accommodation, dining, and event facilities.

We were contacted to help solve the mobile signal problem in a 2,200sqm residential property in the heart of Belgravia. This brick building was blocking the mobile signal and the ground, lower ground and basement floors were experiencing little to no coverage throughout. Our brief was to provide mobile signal for all networks.

Thames Water contacted us to help solve the mobile signal issues in the main control centre and pump building at Lane End Water Treatment Works. The fabric of the building was blocking the mobile signal and health and safety for employees was a huge concern. Our signal engineers conducted a full site survey which included several signal tests throughout the metal clad building. The area is 700 sqm over a single floor and the priority was to provide signal on all mobile phone networks for lone working and emergencies.

This was a large project for our team. The building is 10,000sqm, spread over 3 floors; but the main challenge for our engineers was that this facility has high security requirements. Our team needed to be escorted throughout the complex at all times. The building was extremely busy with staff carrying out confidential and sensitive work and it was paramount that our engineers remained discrete and professional.

The HTC Group brings expertise to the haulage and distribution world for road transport, trailer manufacturing, vehicle and construction equipment sales and supportive services to the road transport industry.

Nightingale Hammerson is an independent charity and leading specialist in the care of older people, comprising two care homes; Nightingale House in Clapham and Hammerson House, in Hampstead.

Sykes & Son Limited deliver a range of building, engineering and maintenance solutions to iconic clients and sites throughout London and the South East.

Double Locks is a popular 18th-century Inn situated on the Exeter Ship Canal. With outdoor seats by the canal locks and cosy log fires, Double Locks is one of Devon’s most popular pubs. We were contacted and asked to design a signal solution to fix the very limited mobile signal at Double Locks. Poor mobile signal meant that the payment devices (point of sale terminals) didn’t work, especially during busy periods. The building has thick brick walls which were doing an excellent job of blocking mobile signal.
