Firm gets a starring role at new cinema
A LEEDS builder has had a starring role in a new Welsh cinema project.
In a project for main contractor Multibuild, Leeds-based building services engineers Morfitts has just successfully completed the 1.5 million mechanical and electrical contract at the new ODEON Cinema at the Eagles Meadow shopping complex, Wrexham.
The eight-screen multiplex cinema will feature the town's first 3D screen.
The project, which started on site in November, comprised a high specification building services installation in the foyer, auditoriums and public areas along with the associated back of house areas and projection room.
The installation featured lighting to the auditoriums, which is provided via dimmable LED's linked directly to the cinema projection equipment for automatic control on the start and completion of a movie, plus fire alarm, voice evacuation and emergency lighting systems, which are all linked to the projection and sound equipment.
In addition to working on new build projects, Morfitts has also undertaken maintenance services work for Odeon Cinemas for a number of years.
Paul Baldwin, Morfitts' Divisional Contracts Director said: "We have developed very positive relationships with both Multibuild and ODEON Cinemas, based on a proactive attitude, hard work and commitment from both the office based project management staff and the site team. We are very pleased with how the project at Wrexham has progressed, particularly with the quite complex requirements of this type of operation."
Lee Collyer, Multibuild Contracts Manager said: "This is the second project that Multibuild has completed for ODEON and we're glad to say it's gone extremely well.
Experience
"Morfitts played an important role in making the scheme as successful as it was. Their experienced staff are proactive, friendly and provide an excellent quality service and installation.
"We look forward to continuing this relationship together on future projects."
Morfitts provides mechanical and electrical design, installation and maintenance services on commercial and industrial projects to clients throughout the UK, on contracts ranging in value from 100, 000 to 5m.
It is currently working on a range of projects across the UK including an inner city living development in Glasgow, a hotel in Doncaster, also for Multibuild, plus office developments in Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield.
