OVERVIEW
Working to a predesigned scheme, we were asked to provide a range of cutting edge M&E services to best serve Halifax Academy as a functioning building and to also assist teaching and learning by creating the optimum education environment.
CHALLENGE
This M&E project encapsulated the strength of the G&H Group with three of our four divisions playing central roles to deliver £1.1m worth of M&E services in a relatively short deadline of 30 weeks.
SOLUTION
Three boilers, all associated heat pumps, plate exchangers and controls were made off-site by G&H Fabrication before being packaged onto a skid for delivery to site. It was made in just two weeks compared to 4-6 weeks if a traditional, on-site approach had been taken.
G&H Building Services installed airhandling units to extract from the canteen, toilet and change rooms, while fire sprinkler units were fitted along with Smart TVs, projectors and PIRcontrolled LEDs.
G&H Sustainability audited the energy saving potential of the building taking into account the predesign and available budget, and installed a 12.48kW solar panel array providing a carbon saving of 8,262kg-a-year, LED lighting and underfloor heating.
RESULTS
Given three G&H companies were on-site, the Group took a project management lead, liaising with the main contractor and designers ensuring a seamless delivery of works.
