Project Profile 2006

The Science of Aliens Exhibition

The temporary exhibition, which examines the possibility of Life on other worlds, opened at the Science Museum in October 2005 for four months, until February 2006, and following display at Thinktank Birmingham, will go on international tour.

Dyson’s undertook the £750K fabrication and fit-out of the exhibition and due to its temporary nature it was essential manufactured items were designed to be easily and safely demountable. Works included a high level gantry housing electrical lighting and drapes, used for zoning the exhibition areas, bespoke mdf structures, electrics and graphic panels..

Bradford & Bingley Refresh Programme

Bradford & Bingley Refresh ProgrammeThe ability and advantages of being able to provide a single point service in terms of joinery, electrical and decoration facilities were a major influence in Dysons being awarded a £250K contract to refurbish 22 branches within the South West, Scotland and Northern Ireland regions.

Work was carried out over a 12 week contract period being undertaken ‘out of hours’ to minimise disruption to clients and staff. Typical scope of works involved the replacement of ceiling tiles and relamping, new floor finishes, relocation of counter-desking arrangements and redecoration within the Banking Hall, Interview Room and Staff areas.

SS Great Britain, Bristol

We are particularly delighted to have been involved in a significant part of the continuing restoration and refurbishment of the ss Great Britain, the winner of the prestigious Gulbenkian Prize for Museum of the Year 2006.

Working to the brief of David McCabe Design, Dysons completed a £700K refurbishment of the promenade deck including doctors quarters, galley and steerage accommodation replicated as near as possible to their original specification. We also undertook the exhibition fit-out of the adjacent Jeffries Museum building completing a contract which was both challenging and fascinating in its content.
