We have a specialised department that deals with boiler house refurbishment contracts. Our expertise in this field is considerable, enabling us to confidently plan and execute complex schemes to avoid the client suffering plant down time. By keeping abreast with the latest equipment we continue to exceed our clients expectations. From being able to computerise the drawing process, we are able to offer full or part prefabricated mechanical services. This is particularly useful when we are given reasonable lead in time on contracts, we are able to reduce plant down times and greatly speed up the actual site installation time.
The present managing director Mr Arthur Preou is still at the helm, he started the company with two other employees. The first few years contracts undertaken were sub-contracts to builders, during this period the company applied for approved status with councils close to our offices in Hornchurch Essex. Once we had proved our expertise and achieved "approved status", we expanded this to encompass most of the local authorities in the greater London area along with Hospital Boards and Government bodies.
Air conditioning units often use a fan to draw in air and, after it has been conditioned, distribute it back into the occupied parts of a building. Air conditioning and refrigeration are provided through the removal of heat. Heat can be removed through radiation, convection, or conduction. Refrigeration conduction mediums such as water, air, and ice are referred to as refrigerants. A refrigerant is employed either in a heat pump system in which a compressor is used, or in a free cooling system which uses pumps to circulate a cool refrigerant.
Belvedere House is a hostel in Kensington, London, catering for students and interns. We worked with Fowler Martin Consultants to carry out the mechanical services installation. The 3 existing modular gas fired boilers needed to be removed along with all pumps, flues, boilers & pipework in the plant room. As Belvedere House was occupied at all times, removal works had to be undertaken out of peak hours. This was to minimise any disruption to the services to the residents. Once all the enabling & removal works had been completed, we could begin to install the new Broag Quinta Pro gas fired condensing boilers with new boiler shunt pumps and flues.
To provide a complete and finished product we hire specialised subcontractors to carry out works related to their industry, such as electricians and bricklayers. An example of this would include a project which requires a concrete pad to be laid in order to facilitate a condenser outside a building or to stand internal boilers on. Another such example would be when extra electrical wires need to be run from a circuit box into a room for a thermostat for a new air conditioning unit, in which case a fully qualified electrician is needed.
We have multiple 120Kw commercial temporary heating systems, which we can deliver to site and use to continue the heating services without the devastating downtime that the building would usually suffer. While other contractors may hire temporary heating systems from a third party supplier, we've built our own. Ensuring that the price of the project isn't unfairly inflated due to third party hire costs.
Temperature is regulated throughout the building through the use of hot water boilers connected to radiant panels via pipework. Correct placement of radiators is essential to provide an even distribution of heat displacement into the occupied rooms. Warm air systems can also be used to distribute heated air through ductwork systems, with many systems using the same ducts to distribute cooled air via an evaporation coil for air conditioning. Ventilation aims to control the indoor air quality by introducing outside air into the buildings.
