Newcastle College Welding Bays

Newcastle College boasts state of the art facilities within it’s various academies, designed to offer students essential hands-on experience.  The college is currently undertaking a programme of facility improvement within it’s energy centre.  We were approached by Tilgear, who are a major supplier into the education sector of tools, material and equipment to design a welding booth system for the college’s fabrication facility.

The requirement was for a 12-booth system with sonic properties that would also feature impact screens, front viewing panels and sliding strip door systems.

Our team designed a system to the college’s exact requirements.

Specification:

Booths consisting of sonic modular elements, designed to significantly reduce noise, mounted with plates to the floor.  Viewing window.  Sliding door systems with strip PVC curtaining. Each booth fitted with a bespoke-made welding bench.  The system was installed by the Tusker installation team.

Sonic sound absorbing walls consisted of:

• Perforated steel plate on both sides
• Black glass fibre
• Sound absorbing mineral wool
• Sheet steel

All our welding bay/booth systems conform to EN25980/2023.

“I am truly impressed with the work Tusker Industrial Safety and Tilgear have completed at the Energy Academy. The communication throughout the project was excellent, and their friendly teams made the experience seamless. I would highly recommend them.”
