M&E Upgrade at Ty Penallta Headquarters
Project Overview
The project’s main objective was to replace the core heating and cooling systems for the five-storey BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rated Ty Penallta building, which serves as the headquarters for Caerphilly County Borough Council. The work took place within a live operational environment, so a key requirement was to complete the 50-week project with zero unplanned disruption to critical public services. As the principal contractor, we was responsible for the complete, hands-on delivery of the M&E upgrade. Our team demonstrated exceptional technical skill and project management in a sensitive public building.
Scope of Works
- Delivery and installation of three new Carrier heat pump chillers.
- Installation and commissioning of three new Hoval UltraGas 2 condensing gas-fired boilers in the fifth-floor plant room.
