GJ Walker announces new industrial fan division as Walker Industrial Systems (WIS)

GJ Walker Air Handling Systems has announced its new industrial fan division, Walker Industrial Systems (WIS), as part of the company’s new focus on the industrial ventilation market.

The GJ Walker Group says WIS will add a range of industrial fans and blowers to its portfolio of products, bringing a new market with different ventilation requirements that complements its existing successful air handling systems business.

Servicing clients nationally, WIS will be headed up by two experienced fan engineers in Steve McGuire, with more than 20 years’ experience in the industry, and Sudevan Nallathamby, extending his current position as GJ Walker general manager to also include WIS Director.

Damon Walker, Affil.AIRAH, managing director of GJ Walker Air Handling Systems, says the company is looking forward to a new chapter that will extend its breadth of business in the ventilation market.

“With Sudevan as general manager of the business, his outstanding knowledge, experience, and skills from over 20 years in the industrial ventilation industry makes WIS an exciting addition to the GJ Walker Group,” says Damon. “I look forward to a talented team servicing the industrial fan business as GJ Walker has in air handling units for almost 50 years.”

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of ventilation in road tunnels: enhancing air quality and safety

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of ventilation in road tunnels: enhancing air quality and safety

Ventilation units within vehicle tunnels play a pivotal role in ensuring safety and optimal air quality for
occupants. These units are used to assist with propelling air from one end to the opposite end of the tunnel.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as an invaluable design tool for engineers and stakeholders,
offering simulated insights and data to optimise safety and efficiency in tunnel projects. This paper
emphasises the advantages of CFD for road tunnel ventilation design, showcases a case study involving
impulse fans, and highlights the positive effects on project costs and overall tunnel ventilation performance.
