Commercial Heating and Hot-Water Replacement at a Gateshead Veterinary Hospital

The existing boiler, cylinder and associated components were removed before the new installation was set out against the retained building services. Black & White Property Services installed an Ideal EnviroMax 2 60kW commercial boiler, an Ideal pre-plumbed commercial cylinder and a commercial MagnaClean filtration unit. New and modified pipework connected the equipment to the existing system.

The supporting work included a purpose-made plywood backboard, a commercial-grade equipment platform, colour coding of existing gas pipework and protective finishing around rough edges. Removed equipment and waste were taken away through the recorded waste route.

• Removed the former boiler, cylinder, associated pipework and components.

• Adapted pipework and connections to suit the retained building services.

• Commissioned and functionally tested the installation.

The completion report records the heating and hot-water system as operational following commissioning and functional testing. It also records the site handover. No performance saving or long-term efficiency improvement is claimed because the available evidence does not quantify one.
