Building services
Full-scale high-rise drainage, waste and ventilation research, including controlled flows, pressure measurement and repeatable test conditions.
High-rise drainage testing →Northampton, England
Research for systems that have to work at height.
A distinctive tall-building environment for product development, engineering research, controlled testing and technical demonstration.
Tall-building engineering
More height. More meaningful evidence.
Some products and systems only reveal their behaviour when they are installed at meaningful height. The National Lift Tower gives project teams access to a 127.5-metre vertical structure with four lift shafts and specialist access systems in Northampton.
We work with manufacturers, consultants, researchers and technical teams to explore whether the facility can support a focused development, testing, training or demonstration programme.
02
Vertical systems
A distinctive environment for early discussions around vertical transport, lift technology, safety systems and product-development projects.
Vertical transport research →03
Safety and access
Specialist shafts, access equipment and a controlled work-at-height setting for safety equipment, training and access-system work.
