Our team was contracted to upgrade the plant room facilities at St Oswald’s Hospice in Gosforth. The existing system was outdated and inefficient, with frequent leaks, unreliable heating and hot water production, and ongoing system failures that disrupted the hospice’s critical services and threatened the well-being of patients and employees.
The project involved a multi-year phased upgrade of the plant room facilities, which included replacing inefficient boilers and repairing leaking pipes and valves. Working closely with the client, we carried out cost-effective solutions that brought the system up to modern standards while ensuring they could continue delivering critical services.
New energy-efficient plant equipment was installed to improve reliability and performance. Each plant room was strategically upgraded to serve different areas of the hospice, ensuring consistent heating and hot water throughout the building. By addressing existing failures and inefficiencies, we built a strong, future-proof system tailored to the hospice’s requirements.
• Phased upgrade of outdated plant room facilities to address leaks, unreliable heating, and system failures.
• Replaced inefficient boilers and repaired failing pipework and valves.
• Installed energy-efficient plant equipment to improve reliability and performance.
• Each plant room upgraded to support specific zones, ensuring consistent heating and hot water.
• Delivered cost-effective, future-proof solutions with minimal disruption to hospice services.
What were the benefits?
The upgrades resulted in an improved, modern heating and hot water system that enabled St. Oswald’s Hospice to provide essential care without disruption. The replacement of the old, unreliable infrastructure also reduced the need for ongoing maintenance, resulting in long-term cost savings for the hospice.
The new system is also significantly more energy efficient, resulting in reduced utility costs and a more sustainable operation overall. By upgrading the plant rooms in stages, we ensured that the hospice could continue to provide services throughout the project, demonstrating our ability to deliver tailored solutions with minimal impact on daily operations.
