Project Background

In the construction industry, timing is everything and staying ahead of schedules often requires innovative solutions. On one of our client’s recent large-scale projects, expediting the screed drying process became a critical factor for success. To meet the challenge, we deployed multiple Mobile Electric Boilers, designed specifically with the construction industry in mind.

These versatile Mobile Electric Boilers, equipped with a built-in 4.3″ easy-to-use touch screen, provided unparalleled efficiency and control. Trolley-mounted for effortless positioning, they seamlessly adapted to the dynamic demands of the site.

With compatibility across six power inputs (3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36 kW) and a bulletproof safety system that automatically recognises the power source, they delivered reliable performance without compromise. Using 30 x 12kW units, we efficiently met heating requirements across multiple blocks on this expansive, London based construction site, ensuring the project stayed on track and on schedule.

Mobile Electric Boiler Key Features

 

3-36kW Electric Mobile Boiler

Equipment Hired for Project

  • 30 x 12kW Mobile Electric Boilers (Single Phase, 63amp): These state-of-the-art boilers formed the cornerstone of the screed drying operation, delivering reliable and uniform heating to all required areas.
  • 1-Inch Camlock Hoses and Connections: Designed for efficiency and durability, these hoses enabled quick, secure, and leak-free connections between the boilers and screed areas.
  • 200KVA Generator with MDU and Sockets: Provided a stable and robust power supply, ensuring seamless operation of the electric boilers across the entire project site.
  • 3000L Fuel Tank: Offered consistent fuel support to the generator, guaranteeing uninterrupted performance of the heating system throughout the drying process.

Overcoming Power and Technical Challenges

Insufficient On-Site Power

A significant obstacle was the limited power availability on-site, which was inadequate to support the large number of electric boilers deployed for this project. Addressing this challenge required an efficient power solution to ensure continuous productivity.

Bridging the Skills Gap: Technical Training for On-Site Teams

The on-site team initially lacked the technical expertise to install and manage the intricate network of mobile electric boilers. To overcome this, we implemented a comprehensive training approach:

  • Expert Guidance: An experienced engineer was dispatched to the site to provide hands-on training. This personalised session guided the team step-by-step through the setup and connection process, ensuring they gained the confidence and knowledge needed to operate independently.
  • Documenting for Longevity: The training session was recorded as a reference tool. This resource empowered the team to reposition or reconnect the boilers efficiently in the future, minimising downtime and errors.

Strategic Generator and Fuel Tank Placement

To ensure optimal delivery and uninterrupted operation of the system, careful planning went into the placement of the generator and fuel tank. We conducted a detailed site assessment to develop a precise strategy, that included:

  • Optimal Positioning: Strategic locations for the generator and fuel tank were identified to simplify delivery via HIAB and ensure streamlined connectivity with the electric boilers.
  • Resilient Connectivity: The placement strategy accounted for extended lead lengths in certain areas, effectively overcoming power constraints and ensuring reliable operation throughout the site.

Installation and location

Outcome and Client Feedback

The seamless integration of our modern Mobile Electric Boilers, expert training, and strategic equipment placement led to a highly successful project outcome. The on-site team not only gained the technical expertise to independently manage the installed systems but also developed a stronger and more collaborative working relationship with the technical staff. This newfound confidence and capability translated into smoother operations and enhanced efficiency, earning positive feedback from all stakeholders involved.

Our customer centric approach to utilising temporary electric boilers not only accelerated the screed drying process on this complex construction site but also equipped the on-site team with valuable skills and knowledge to manage the system effectively. By combining strategic equipment coordination with expert guidance, we demonstrated our unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive, client-focused solutions tailored to the unique demands of large-scale projects.
