We completed the simultaneous plantroom upgrades at 2 schools on behalf of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
The works involved the decommissioning, isolation and removal of existing gas fired boiler plant, associated pipework, flues, and electrical controls.
This was followed by the installation of Hamworthy condensing boilers, Enwa filtration units, pressurisation units, air-dirt separators, a new Southern Controls BMS control panels, primary and secondary pumps, and a flue system.
The system was put in to work alongside the existing Air Source Heat Pumps at each school.
Each school had a scaffold which was installed by CISRS qualified staff and signed off weekly by our CISRS certified inspector.
During the day our site manager carried out spot checks of all sub-contractors whilst on site to ensure they are not only completing their works to an optimum standard but to also ensure they are maintaining good Health & Safety practices. These regular inspections are carried out to ensure the works are handed over free of defects which avoids the disruption and cost of returning to make good any issues.
We worked closely with the Premises Mangers at the schools and Richard Perrett, the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Schools Project manager to ensure they were kept updated with progress, to understand school requirements regarding access and work times, and all other related matters.
All required design checks, working drawings & technical submissions, were issued promptly to the project consultant, Baily Garner, before the start of the project.
We attended pre-start meetings at each school with the representatives from The Royal borough of Greenwich, Baily Garner, the Head Teacher, and the Premises Managers to get to know the client and ultimately the end user (the school).
This collaboration with all stakeholders is essential to ensure a smooth running, delay-free project where all parties are aware of the progress and decisions could be made immediately wherever required.
