Case Studies
CASE STUDY : A
The Brief: UK water companies are upgrading their strategic water
assets to comply with The Distributions Service Reservoir
(DSR) Security and Emergency Measures Direction (SEMD).
MCL were approached by a major water company with a
view to replacing their current bore-hole kiosks with LPCB
SR3 certified kiosks. The scope of work included removal
and disposal of the existing kiosk and the manufacture and
installation of the new kiosks. MCL were responsible for
conducting site surveys of over 30 sites and providing a like
for like, but security enhanced, kiosk for the existing assets.
The Solution:MCL tendered for the package of work and, once the order
was received, attended programme meetings to ensure
the targeted completion date could be achieved – thirty
SecurbiltTM LPCB SR3 kiosks within a four month period.
MCL took full responsibility for ensuring that the kiosks were
to the correct specification and that all existing vents and
electrical equipment were retro-fitted to the new kiosks. The
MCL site installation teams removed batches of the existing
kiosks replacing them with the new security rated kiosks on
the same day, ensuring that all of the customers assets were
secure at all times.
The Result:
The project was completed on time and within the cost
expectations of the customer. Glowing reports were received
on the quality and commitment of the site installation team
who had to deal with last-minute scheduling changes and
sites which had been affected by continuous rainfall.
CASE STUDY : B
The Brief: A manufacturer of dosing systems was having problems
with their usual SR3 kiosk supplier, late deliveries were
causing major issues for them. They had heard that MCL had
invested time and money to develop an LPCB SR3 security
rated range so approached us for a quote and a delivery
commitment that would be met. The SR3 kiosk we quoted
was a large (12m x 4m x 4m) kiosk with many additional
features. The client also required four smaller, standard,
kiosks for the same project. They were looking for a supplier
who could manage the delivery and installation of all five
kiosks at the same time to reduce time on site.
The Solution: MCL manufactured a SecurbiltTM kiosk with additional
features: removable roof, chemical containment (bunded),
removable sill on the double door set, fill point, partition wall,
structural floor and a lifting solution (capable of lifting 15
tons total weight). It was delivered fully built to the client’s
premises, where it was fitted with the dosing equipment,
prior to being delivered to site. The four standard CorbiltTM
kiosks joined the security kiosk on site and were installed on
the same day.
The Result:
All five kiosks were delivered in line with the customer quality,
price and delivery expectations.

CorbiltTM GRP Bespoke Kiosks
GRP kiosks have many advantages over traditional, brick-built and steel enclosures. Off-site
construction with a quick installation have a lower impact on the site surroundings than a traditional
build and the flexibility of design and choice of external finish gives a visually pleasing housing that
suits the environment.
MCL design, manufacture and install Corbilt™ custom
designed kiosks of any size, (our largest dimensions to date
being 20m length, 8m depth, 5m height) with a wide range
of fittings and accessories.

Case Studies
CASE STUDY : C
The Brief: MCL received an enquiry from an existing customer for a GRP
kiosk 13.7m x 3.2m x 3.5m. The customer asked for the kiosk
to be delivered flat-packed, assembled on site, installed then
equipped with various electrical fittings.
The Solution: MCL designed the kiosk and, on reviewing the drawing, it
appeared possible to deliver the kiosk fully built and fully
equipped prior to installation. MCL work closely with a
specialist transport company who undertook their survey.
The survey proved that the large kiosk could, indeed, be
delivered in one piece, the customer placed the order.
The Result:
This decision reduced the time required on site dramatically,
a much more attractive option for the customer, all
manufacturing and electrical installation was completed
at MCL premises enabling commissioning on the day of
installation.
CASE STUDY : D
The Brief: An existing customer to MCL approached us with a problem
with a proposed electrical control cabinet, the kiosk had
to be positioned above an underground access chamber.
Obviously, access to the chamber had to be maintained at all
times so a conventional floor within the kiosk would not be
appropriate.
The Solution: MCL’s design engineers came up with an integral structural
steel base as a solution. Using anti-slip chequer plate steel
flooring with a hidden supporting structure, we constructed
and fitted a base with a removable inspection plate.
The Result:
Problem solved! The kiosk was positioned and installed
where required, access to the underground chamber was
maintained.

Case Studies
CASE STUDY : E
The Brief: A new MCL customer asked us for a solution to house
their lift equipment on a roof. The kiosk had to conform to
building regulation insulation properties and be capable of
being lifted by crane on to a 5 storey roof top.
The Solution: MCL manufactured a kiosk with a “U” Value of 0.15W/m2/oC
and had all the lifting attachment points certificated for the lift.
The Result:
After extensive risk assessment/method statements were
undertaken, MCL delivered and installed this unusually sited
kiosk. A mobile crane was used to lift the kiosk to the roof,
the lifting requirements carried out as set out in BS7121. All
necessary certification and health and safety paperwork was
submitted prior to installation which was completed on time.
CASE STUDY : F
The Brief: A Customer approached MCL for a kiosk with gas tight
compartments to prevent the unwanted leakage of dangerous
chemicals from the kiosk whilst maintaining the LPCB Level 3
certification.
The Solution: MCL manufactured a kiosk with 3 compartments separated
by sealed internal walls. MCL carried out a gas test prior to
shipping the kiosk, a certified gas test was later carried out
when the kiosk was installed on site.
The Result:
The kiosk was supplied with a structural base and sent to the
client’s workshop where it was equipped and later sent to the
end customer.

GCTM Industrial & Commercial
Gas Meter Housings
The patented Gas Care Services GCTM range is the industry’s choice for housing industrial meters.
Held in stock for a fast delivery, the range was originally developed with National Grid Gas by a
former Transco gas engineer.
The innovative GRP housings became a quick and easy
to install alternative to traditional brick-built enclosures
quickly converting the market to specify this progression.
The GCTM range is now widely used where commercial
smart meters are installed, the GRP construction being
superior as it does not interfere with telemetry.
Designed for the specific meter size and gas pressure,
the range incorporates ventilation and explosion relief
requirements as directed by: IGE/GM/8 - Institute of Gas
Engineers.
•M
