Restoring the Headrow in Leeds
SES has been awarded the GBP7million mechanical and electrical design and installation contract for the restoration of 22-26 The Headrow, in the heart of Leeds city centre.
It is light, very durable and exact lengths can be prefabricated on-site and lifted in one installation with the joints welded together in minutes using a dual heat seal method.
Aquatherm was used on the project as it: * Enhanced the mechanical installation times * Due to the complexity of pipework within the plantroom areas it helped keep the weight ratios on the roof to a minimum in line with the architect's visionary design * Tight access into the site meant the traditional heavy pipework would have caused handling problems * Reduces flushing time operation due to clean method of assembly.
SES first successfully used Aquatherm at two projects in Harlow where against a tight programme deadlines the company celebrated its ease, efficiency and effectiveness of application.
This was also the first time Aquatherm had been installed on a commercial building anywhere within the UK.
SES' contract on the project involves the installation of all the M and E building services valued at £2.5m.
Shepherd Construction Ltd is the main contractor.
