Central Boiler House (532) - Isolation of boilers and Medium Temperature Heating within Boiler House - 4 March 2026

Posted: 26 February 2026

Description of the Works

  • The district heating and boilers will be isolated to allow the large pump to be removed from the central boiler house using a crane. This will disrupt the heating whilst the work is carried out.
  • The removed pump will then be replaced by lifting the newly refurbished spare pump into position.
  • A temporary connection will be installed from the CHP to the Whitworth district heating leg to maintain supply during the works.
  • All remaining hot water demand will be met using electrical immersion heaters.
  • The Bridgeman Car Park will be closed for one day while the crane is in operation to carry out this work.
  • Scaffold will be installed on Saturday 28.02.26 to enable works on Wednesday 4 March 2026.
