THE BRIEFING
The Shaw Education Trust began a phased upgrade of the swimming pool at Blackfriars Academy. Working alongside Shaw Education Trust Ford Mainwaring were tasked with the removal of the existing life expired ventilation system for the pool and the installation of a new AHU which included a high efficiency heat recovery system.
The project included the following elements:
- Removal of existing inefficient ventilation system and de-commissioning of systems.
- Installation and commissioning of new Heat Recovery (MVHR) Air handling unit complete with control panel to control humidity and temperature automatically for pool area.
- New supply and extract air ductwork complete with thermal insulations. Ductwork manufactured complete with treated lining for swimming pool atmosphere and powder coated white for aesthetic view in pool area.
- Our builders installed a new concrete base and fencing compound for the new AHU to be located at the rear of the pool building.
- Full commissioning of the AHU to suit design and client parameters.
WHAT OUR CLIENT SAYS:
“Dan and his team were brilliant right from the start, he provided expert advice and guidance on where our problems were with our existing inefficient heating system in the swimming pool area. Ford Mainwaring provided some clear options for us to consider which were fully costed and within our budget.
During the works, the install team were always on time and very tidy, and a pleasure to deal with, the project was delivered on time and to budget. Our new swimming pool heat recovery unit is working perfectly and hopefully will provide some good energy savings going forward.”
Simon Bryan, Estates Project Manager at Shaw Education Trust
CONCLUSION
During the 4 weeks on-site, the project leaders and engineers from Ford Mainwaring were considerate of their surroundings and worked hard to not cause disruption for Blackfriars’ students or staff. 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 Blackfriars Academy.
If you require a skilled engineer for a job in your educational setting, 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.
