1. Spire Hospital, Dunedin
Project Description
To undertake the boiler and hot water generation plant and controls system replacement to improve system resilience within the live private hospital in Reading.
Our Role
Working with the main contractor, cfes Ltd, EDP Environmental provided Mechanical & Electrical Design Services for the boiler and hot water generation plant and controls system replacement.
The location of the boiler room, being within the third floor roof plant room with a narrow stairway access, and limited space within the plant room, influenced the design significantly.
The boilers selected were of the prefabricated frame mounted type, with high efficiency condensing modular boilers providing significantly greater energy efficiencies. Plate heat exchangers replaced the old calorifiers, mitigating the risk of legionella.
New BMS controls installation provides a vastly improved plant monitoring and control functions enhancing the overall system efficiencies, whilst improved alarm functions reduces the “downtime” of the essential hot water and heating systems within this live hospital environment.
