Flight Club, Bristol

The venue covering two floors on Bristol’s Corn Street offers a unique darts experience. It has a total capacity of 200 with competitive and multiplayer games from seven personal oche areas, also known as the toe line or throw line in which the dart player stands behind and a vibrant high-end bar providing food and drinks.

Working closely with Red Engine, the delivery team behind the bar, our team was appointed to deliver an early-stage feasibility study, detailed design and site monitoring duties for the MEP installation and fit-out of the new venue.

The mechanical design involved heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic water and draining services to the venue to form a fully function venue, along with the strip out of existing services and new service installations. The kitchen supply and extract ductwork utilise Carbon filters, ESP filters, and UV light, allowing the extract system to remove pollutants and odours from the extracted air. Height restrictions within the basement areas required detailed coordination with the project designers, kitchen specialists and the catering companies to enable ductwork and kitchen fit-out.

The electrical works include providing Mode lighting control system design, fire and lighting control systems, data, small power, AV and sound systems, and the coordination of Heineken and coke python routes. The design utilises CAT 6 structured cabling to process the high level of data and specialist oche wiring to the dart and game areas. These areas utilise the data network for the Tournament technology which is capable to connecting up to 120 players within the venue, and also utilises a unique patent dart tracking technology designed by Flight Club’s very own astrophysicist, which allows high-speed cameras to track the location of each dart.
