Environmental monitoring and control specialist Hanwell Instruments Ltd (part of the IMC Group)
has completed a UK conservation project at the National Trust’s oldest building, a fourth century Romano-British villa in Chedworth, Gloucestershire.
Hanwell provided a building control system to preserve the site and its newly discovered mosaics.
The system monitors and controls the air in and around the site and uses internal mechanical vents to control CO2 levels which fluctuate when crowds are present.
Dr Martin Hancock, Hanwell’s technical director, said: "To be chosen to utilise modern technology to protect and preserve 2,000-year-old technology is a great thrill for Hanwell and adds to our growing portfolio of innovative solutions for the heritage sector."
