The new facility is being used for research into quantum technologies including the measurement of sub-atomic particles.

MA24 were responsible for the design, build, installation of all critical engineering systems including commissioning and stability mapping of the metrology laboratories.

This project pushed the boundaries of building services controls capabilities. An example of this were the sensors used to control temperatures of less than 0.1°C. The sensors required an accuracy greater than any UKAS laboratory in the UK could calibrate to. Selected sensors were calibrated in a specialist calibration lab to an error of less than 0.005˚C inclusive of the combined standard uncertainty budget. 

Humidity control and velocity mapping required similar complex solutions with more information about the project available on request.
