Communal Boiler Replacement Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Chessington
Highlights
Specifications
Axis undertook a Communal Boiler Replacement Project at a retirement/sheltered house scheme for elderly tenants in Chessington, Surrey.
• Strip out existing plant room
The property, owned and managed by our client The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, consists of 47 flats (a mix of studio, 1 and 2-bedroom).
• New hydrogen-ready boilers • New hot water cylinders • New BMS system • Pipework
Here, residents had been experiencing interrupted heating and hot water as the main plant items were approaching life expired.
• Water heating system flushed/ cleaned
To improve both the hot water and heating supply, we first conducted a full strip out of the existing plant room equipment, removing the old inefficient boilers and associated controls.
2 months duration
Axis’ Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) team then installed a new boiler system based on Bosch Condens 7000 which has an option to cascade in banks of up to six boilers, providing resilience in case of a boiler failure. Three free-standing frames for the new 85kw boilers were an ideal choice for the space in the existing boiler room. The boilers are ready for an initial hydrogen blend of 20%. One hot water cylinder with a capacity of 850 litres and 30-minute re-heat time ensures uninterrupted hot water for our residents.
