To replace the site wide heat network at the base while minimising any disruption to day-to-day activities. This project would involve connecting to more than 40 existing buildings and an existing system which was contaminated with asbestos and mainly in culverts.
PPSL worked alongside our partner Integral to coordinate the route and install more than 6km of new Logstor pre-insulated pipes – including a leak detection system. PPSL reviewed the site-wide service drawings and undertook numerous site visits to develop the design from RIBA stage two to four – ensuring compliance with Integral’s specification and proposed routes. PPSL developed both flat and section drawings to coordinate the route. We also took responsibility for the unloading and loading of 14 articulated wagons of materials and provided full time site supervision as well as providing multiple welding and jointing teams.
The PPSL team ensured that all foreseeable risks were identified and designed out as part of the route planning. This meant that the project was delivered on time, on budget and exactly to programme – thanks to the thorough upfront design work which led to a smooth installation. Our team worked seamlessly with the Integral team and onsite civils forming a strong partnership. The success of this led to PPSL winning more Ministry of Defence projects with the same Integral team.
PPSL worked as part of our team to design and undertake the replacement works for the conventional valves that had started to corrode around the site. They were extremely flexible and adapted to our programme as and when each of the five areas had been excavated. Excellent customer service as always and quality.
