The values that cascade from this vision and that underpin the NOMA brand and influence our decision making, from high level strategy to daily operations, are:

The configuration and complexity of the lighting technology proposed for the Earth Tubes requires specialist installation skills. This is due to several design elements which require significant detail design input to ensure the lighting installation works successfully, as well as being integrated into the existing structures without detracting from their unique aesthetic. The programming of the media will need to be designed around the form of the structures which in itself requires a complex design solution. Working alongside the digital media system will be various specialist interactive elements which are as follows:
a) motion sensors via monochrome and infrared cameras;
b) proximity microphones;
c) pressure sensitive interactive feature;
d) bespoke sound input tubes and web based applications. Each of these elements will need to be designed and integrated into Earth Tube structures, whilst ensuring that all of the systems successfully work together and react with the Earth Tube lighting as required. The fixing and integration of the lighting equipment onto the existing structures will require prefabricated fixing details which work with the existing structure and do not detract from the aesthetic of the Earth Tube fins. Bespoke trunking systems and fixing brackets will be required to ensure cabling is neatly detailed and concealed. The fabrication of the fixing details and lighting equipment housing will need to match the quality of the existing fins, and therefore will need an experienced fabricator to successfully deliver the final solution. The key target contract dates are: Award contract — 4.5.2015 Start — 29.6.2015. Completion — 21.9.2015 The Co-operative Group is using the Manchester City Council e-business portal known as The Chest (www.the-chest.org.uk) to conduct this procurement exercise.
