Description of the works
Essential maintenance is required to support the replacement of a failed heating control valve in Core K, which is currently impacting business operations.
The first phase of work involves the installation of new isolation points within the heating system. These isolations are necessary to allow the control valves to be replaced safely during the subsequent phase of works.
To complete this initial phase safely, the heating system serving Core K will be isolated for the duration of the week, resulting in a temporary loss of heating to:
- Air Handling Units (AHUs) in Cores K, J, and H
- Central heating circuits serving Cores K, J, and H
During Phase 1, no heating will be available to the AHUs or central heating systems in Cores K, J, and H. Occupants may experience lower internal temperatures, depending on weather conditions and building usage.
Timescale
- Phase 1 – Installation of new isolations
- Start date: Monday 13 April 2026
- Duration: 1 week
- Expected completion: Friday 17 April 2026
- Phase 2 – Replacement of failed control valves
- To follow once isolations are installed
- Further notice will be issued with confirmed dates
