MODERN BUILDING SERVICES APRIL 2021 25 FEATURE PACKAGED PLANT off-site prefabricated skid for fast and easy installation. To enable rapid installation of the heating and hot water element in the individual properties, Packaged Plant Solutions provided the new Megaflo Eco 125 litre cylinders pre-assembled with the associated pipework. Supplying the unit, together with controls and a heat meter, the prep-plumbed cylinders and first fix rails meant that Milverdene would be able to slide the equipment easily into the existing utility cupboard spaces. “The major advantage for us was the time saved on site,” explained Ian. “The works began at the start of 2020, so with COVID-19 restrictions in place just a few months later, we were running a little behind. “However, thanks to the prefabricated solution provided, Milverdene were able to complete the changeover in just one day and refurbish five properties a day, putting us firmly back on schedule. We also didn’t have to worry about multiple deliveries or materials being left on site as the solutions arrived pre-assembled and ready for installation just when needed.” Once the electrics, radiator sizing and valves had been checked and a new sprinkler pipe and sprinkler heads fitted, the project was completed and delivered on time and budget. “Charlton Board and the residents are delighted – the new plant room looks great and it all works brilliantly,” said Ian. “It’s a fantastic result and we are anticipating considerable energy and carbon savings from our new energy-efficient services.” “It’s a fantastic result and we are anticipating considerable energy and carbon savings from our new energy- efficient services.”
