Project
After several major leaks in the heating and chilled water pipework within the building, it was decided that all the pipework should be swapped from carbon steel to stainless steel. B-engineering was chosen via a competitive tender process to upgrade the heating and chilled water pipework throughout the operational building spanning 8 floors.
Delivery
We systematically removed and replaced all existing pipework in the building, one floor at a time, with stainless steel crimped pipework. Despite having to carry out the work while tenants were still present, we ensured the building remained operational throughout.
The tasks included stripping out the old pipework, installing new pipes, adding thermal insulation, performing water treatment, and recommissioning the systems. All the work was completed ahead of schedule, and the systems were back online in time for the summer cooling season.
Key Figures
