Each of the centres remained fully operational throughout the duration of our works, with our works seamlessly integrating with the existing installations. 

 

We were able to complete the projects on budget and in time, with huge constraints following the COVID pandemic, HGW driver shortages and BREXIT disruption. 

 

We have showcased just two of the schemes, ach of the following projects 

​

Hough End Leisure Centre 

 

We installed a ground source heat pump system comprising of three 50 kWt, Carrier units, operating on two selectable operating temperatures of 45°C or 65°C depending on demand conditions. 

 

20 boreholes were drilled to a depth of 150 metres in the existing car park and surrounding land. Our works package included making good the car park following drilling works and interfacing with the existing heating / BMS installations. 

 

Arcadia Leisure Centre 

 

The Arcadia Leisure Centre project incorporated 3 Carrier air-source units, each sized at 76 kWt. 

 

Space constraints within the existing plant space meant that we had to provide an external plant housing to accommodate the off-site manufactured plant skids and heat pump units. Close proximity of the housing to the Manchester to London, West Coast rail line required specialist risk assessment and liaison. 

 

We used out in-house manufacturing business, ENERLink to construct the buffer vessels which optimise heat pump operation and to minimise the number of run cycles.
