Ensuring 24/7 Operation at a Northern Police Station with a Temporary Boiler

Background

A police station and custody suite located in the northern part of the country faced a challenging situation: the need to replace aging boilers and direct-fired hot water cylinders without disrupting their 24/7 operations. By implementing a strategic installation and transition plan, Rapid Energy provided a seamless temporary solution with a high-quality packaged boiler and service.

The Challenge: Maintaining Uninterrupted Services

The critical requirement was to maintain continuous operation throughout the strip-out and installation period. This meant no downtime could be tolerated, given the essential services the building provides across its police station and custody suite.

Temporary Boiler and Equipment Used

To address this challenge, Rapid Energy supplied advanced temporary heating and hot water solutions. The temporary installed setup included:

A 300kW gas boiler to ensure consistent heating.
A 250kW hot water system with a plate heat exchanger (PHE) to maintain hot water supply.
60 meters of 2″ LTHW (Low Temperature Hot Water) hose for efficient distribution.
90 meters of 2″ HWS (Hot Water Supply) hose for robust delivery.
Two single-phase 16amp power leads for reliable power connectivity.
Heras fencing for safety and security of the temporary setup.

Execution: Flawless Planning and Coordination

The success of this project hinged on meticulous planning and execution, necessitating tight coordination between the end-user, the contractor, and Rapid Energy. This ensured that:

The temporary boiler system was installed seamlessly without any operational disruptions.
Gradual transitions from the old to the new plant occurred post-peak demand periods, thereby minimising service shortages.
