Canon Hall, New District Heating Site

Boiler Replacement and Comprehensive Maintenance Services

Background: problem solving 

Our company recently took over the management of this district heating site, which supplies heating and hot water to multiple residents. Upon initial assessment, it was noted that the site was relying on a one boiler, as boiler 2 was out of operation, posing a significant risk to the residents if the boiler were to fail. The site had no alternative heat source, making it imperative to address this issue urgently especially with colder weather just around the corner

 

Project Objectives

1. Install a new, efficient central heating boiler to replace the obsolete boiler.

2. Ensure continuous heating and hot water availability for the residents. 

3. Provide comprehensive planned preventative maintenance (PPM) for the plant room equipment.

4. Offer rapid response and reactive maintenance services to deal with any issues affecting residents' heating and hot water systems.

Key Actions

1. Boiler Replacement: Our team of district heating engineers identified the urgent need for a new boiler to ensure system reliability. We sourced and installed a new modern, high-efficiency central heating boiler, ensuring:

  • Improved energy efficiency and reduced operational costs.
  • Increased system reliability, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted heat and hot water supply.

 

2. Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM): We implemented a regular PPM schedule for all the equipment in the plant room, including:

  • Regular inspections and servicing of the new boiler and associated systems.
  • Proactive identification of potential issues before they escalate into problems.
  • Optimizing system performance and extending the lifespan of the equipment.

 

3. Reactive Maintenance Services: In addition to scheduled maintenance, we provide responsive  reactive services. This includes:

  • 24/7 availability of in-house district heating technicians.
  • Swift resolution of issues related to residents' heating and hot water systems.
  • Minimizing downtime and inconvenience to residents by addressing faults promptly.
