Midsomer Norton

/in

This Plant Room upgrade in Midsomer Norton required the removal of an old floor standing shell and tube boiler, which was fitted with a still-functional Nu-Way burner. We also removed a gas fired Andrews water heater and Stockvis Domestic hot water plate exchanger.

As you can see from the pictures below, it is extremely important to inspect flues during services as the inner wall of the flue had completely collapsed and was blocking the flue way.

These appliances served a Leisure Centre so we had to maintain services for the duration of the project. We fitted 4no Remeha boilers complete with frames, a low loss header and mixing pot, which then goes out to feed the system. The low temperature hot water system (LTHW) was installed in Geberit Low carbon steel Mapress and the gas was fitted in Stainless Steel. We also had to pipe up the new air handling unit which was replaced as the previous model had no heat recovery option.

Overall, this project was completed punctually with minimal ‘down time’ to the centre, which will soon see the benefits of a more energy efficient system.

Old Ship Hotel, Brighton

/in

A small but interesting job was a project at the Old Ship Hotel in Brighton, whereby we repaired a leak originating from a leaking 6-inch brazed fitting that was not repairable. Our Engineers fabricated and replaced a new section of customised pipe including two tees and Straub Couplings.

Our freeze team attended site and used liquid nitrogen to freeze the old, corroded pipework (due to the leak), which enabled us to replace it with brand new copper pipework.

We carried out the work during daytime hours to minimise the disruption to the hotel. The team is really proud to have been able to rectify the faults with no effect to the hotel’s business.

Below are some images to show what the project entailed and what our work looked like once we’d completed the repair.

Major Supermarket, Pimlico

/in

In October, we were instructed to carry out works for a major supermarket based in Central London.

Our experienced engineers stripped out four boilers and replaced these with Ideal Tormax 100 boilers, as well as installing a Megaflo 500 litre commercial hot water cylinder.

We used materials including Gebrit Mapress pipe and fittings, as well as Grundfos twin head pumps, which are more reliable and energy-efficient.

Low carbon steel was used for the heating system, which is not only better for the environment but is proven to be a better product due to its corrosion resistance. Stainless steel was used on the gas supply. By using Ideal frame headers and the Gebrit system as opposed to traditional materials, the installation time was substantially improved.

Project Dragonfly

/in

‘Project Dragonfly’ – the installation of all pipework in the fourth Ocado Customer Fulfilment centre, located in Erith – is the largest project that the team at CG Systems has worked on to date!

Project Dragonfly Ocado

Ocado Warehouse

The Ocado warehouse sits on a circa 40 acre site close to the River Thames, and when complete will have 560,000 sq ft of distribution space with offices totalling 27,857 sq ft. It will also boast 72 dock and 16 level access doors as well as room for 326 cars and 287 HGVs!

Within the scope of the project, we carried out the following work:

  • Boiler and plant room pipework installation, including 2no Ideal Imax Xtra floor standing condensing boilers and 2no Andrews MAXXflo gas fired water heaters.
  • Within the plant room there was also 4no Air Handling Units which were fed off the heating circuit.
  • All of the heating pipework was installed in Low Carbon Steel Mapress all the way to 108mm OD in excess of 1200 meters.
  • All of the domestic pipework (over 2000 meters) was installed in Copper Mapress up to and including 54mm.
  • All the second fix of 60 toilets, 6 showers, numerous hand wash basins and 4 squatting toilets.
  • Over 450 meters of Geberit HDPE soil pipe was installed to serve all the waste outlets on site.

Once again, we received critical project support from our suppliers, including BSS and Smith Brothers Stores as well as Geberit who supplied all the pipe fittings across the project. We’re proud to have completed such a monumental project and we’d like to thank our team of fitters as well as the upstream management for their hard work to ensure this all ran smoothly.

CG Systems use Geberit to rebuild the iconic Hastings Pier

/in

The team at CG Systems opted to use Gebrerit Mapress and HDPE for the work we did on the £14m renovation of Hastings Pier, after seeing the benefits on Geberit’s free training.

Hastings Pier

/in

The team at CG Systems is proud to have contributed to the restoration work done on the Hastings Pier, which has now opened to the public.

The pier is a grade II listed Victorian landmark that was originally built in 1872 and was severely damaged by fire in 2010. We were commissioned to ‘fit out’ the visitor’s centre and all the Below Deck Services at Hastings Pier, which included the installation of an Air Source Heat Pump to provide the heating and hot water within the visitor’s centre.

The project was completed successfully by our team while making sure to take caution at all times.

You can find out more information on the pier by visiting their website on hastingspier.org.uk

(We visited the site last week for a follow up inspection and we couldn’t help but take a few photographs of this beautiful space that is going to be visited by thousands of visitors every week.)

Hastings Pier and Visitor’s Centre

/in

CG Systems is pleased to share that we have been commissioned to ‘fit out’ the Visitor’s Centre and all the Below Deck Services at Hastings Pier and Visitor’s Centre. We, as a team, are extremely proud to be involved in this prestigious project.

The team will be working alongside Geberit, Uponor, Mitsubishi and Jungs to provide the correct products and level of facilities required by the project. Work will include the installation of an Air Source Heat Pump to provide the heating and hot water within the Visitor’s Centre. All the domestic and LTHW services will be installed according to a 5 layer MLCP crimp system.
