We provide expert advice on the optimum boiler house layout for new steam or hot water boiler, ancillary plant and pipework, paying close attention to energy use and efficiency, along with the specific operational requirements. For new build or renovation projects, this generally means involvement at the design stage, including detailed site surveys and energy-efficiency reports to identify the most cost-effective solutions. We work closely with architects and building contractors as work progresses.
Steam Boiler Plant Expertise
We take a holistic view to boiler plant design with a few key considerations:
- Potential energy savings: This is particularly relevant for replacement equipment. Is the current system and what measures could be introduced to save on energy bills. Steam trap surveys are one of the methods we use to identify inefficiencies.
- Operational effectiveness: What processes will be steam be used for and what equipment and layout offer the best performance and reliability.
- Future-proofing: Understanding the potential requirement of a plant as a company grows can save costs in the long run and allows for less expensive upgrade work.
Boiler House CAD Design and Modelling
We offer a full CAD design service, with 3D modelling, to provide customers with a real feel for how the finished boiler room will look like. The design process means we can prefabricate much of the ancillary pipework in our factory, reducing installation time on site.
Our tried and tested design process includes:
- Boiler room and wider facility surveys to gather key data about the placement of existing equipment and services
- 2-D design a of new boiler plant equipment and ancillary pipework.
- 3-D modelling of the facility and equipment
- Working drawings for manufacturing and installation purposes.
Our accurate CAD drawings and 3-D renderings, provide a visual guide and are often used by architects and structural engineers as part of their own design process.
