Our Client:
Operating under the Shaw Education Trust, Endon High School in Staffordshire is built on the values of curiosity, determination, and kindness. The School has an average capacity of around 700 children aged 11-16, so it’s important the facilities are up to high standards so the day can run smoothly for all students and staff.
The Briefing:
Ford Mainwaring was engaged by the Shaw Educational Trust to undertake a phased upgrade of Endon High School, starting with the prominent reception block which incorporates the schools’ sports hall and main theatre hall.
As part of the refurbishment works Ford Mainwaring worked closely with Shaw Education Trust and the builders to ensure that the scheme flowed without any disruption to the School or allied trades on site.
The scope of work:
- Replacement of the existing plant room equipment for new Remeha efficient condensing boilers complete with new Grundfos pumps and a water-to-water plate heat exchanger serving the DHW system
- Installation of new high-efficiency fan coil units in the sports hall controlled by BMS
- Installation of new LTHW radiant ceiling panels in the reception area
- Replacement of all existing radiators
- Root and branch replacement of all existing heating pipework for Geberit press stainless steel
- Installation of zone valves to enable letting of individual areas of the school
- Installation of a new Trend BMS control panel for the boiler plant and external heating.
With careful planning from the project management team, all of the work within the School areas were completed before the end of the summer school holidays.
The final phase of this current project was to replace the existing, inefficient cast iron boiler plant and associated pipework, valves and pumps. FML installed the latest Remeha boiler package to include high-efficiency plate heat exchangers to supply the heating and domestic hot water to the School.
Finally, along with our partner Demma, we installed a new control panel incorporating the latest TREND BMS controls to interface with the new boiler plant and external heating equipment. This new control package along with the new high-efficiency boiler and the heating plant will show the School considerable energy savings in the coming years.
In the end:
During the 14 weeks on-site, the project leaders and engineers from Ford Mainwaring were considerate of their surroundings and worked hard to not disrupt the running of the School. We look forward to working with The Shaw Education Trust again and are available for maintenance or an emergency callout 24 hours a day if we are needed at Endon High School.
If you require a skilled engineer for work at your educational facility, all Ford Mainwaring staff are fully DBS and CTC vetted, so you can know your facility is in safe hands. Contact us to book a free consultation for your mechanical and electrical installation and maintenance work.
