First ground broken at historic nightingale quarter
ndustrial process heating equipment manufacturer Babcock Wanson is pleased to announce the release of the latest Combustion Engineering Association (CEA) boiler guide – ‘Thermal Fluid Systems - A Practical Guide for Safe Design, Operation and Maintenance’ – in which it has been one of the lead authors in collaboration with other appropriate members of the CEA. BG07, as the new guide is referenced, has been produced to help designers, owners, managers and operators of new and existing thermal fluid heating systems to operate safe installations, and to make health and safety and environmental improvements in the industry. The objective is to help users of thermal fluid systems manage their own risks and create safe and efficient installations.
I uGroundworkers are now on site
he multi-million pound building project to create 800 new homes in the heart of Derby has begun - five years after the site was flattened. It was half a decade ago the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary was demolished, and after a number of false starts to develop the land by previous owners of the site, work has now begun.

The 18-acres will slowly be transformed over the next five years by Wavensmere Homes for the £150 million development, which will become a green oasis’ for its new residents, including cycle routes, an open air gym and fitness area, children’s play areas and planting throughout the site.
Over 2,000 people have now registered their interest in the 125 two and three bedroom homes, before the further release of 675 one bed properties which are set to be opened for interest early this year. James Dickens, managing director of Wavensmere Homes said: “We are incredibly proud that work has begun on the site and we are able to show residents and businesses surrounding the site that we have been able to follow through on our promise to start the process in developing the land, which has stood as a brownfield site for so many years. “Appointing haart as the estate agents and the contact for prospective buyers last year, and then M. Lambe Construction as the groundworkers has been two milestone
contracts to secure, especially as they are now both based in Derby - and has also meant that hundreds of jobs have been created in the area for these plans to become a reality and support the local economy,” he added.
Dickens added they were also going to ensure that the Infirmary’s iconic pepper pot buildings will be retained for community use, with residents having access to numerous facilities including a café, gym, exhibition space and meeting rooms. John Forkin, managing director of Marketing Derby added: “The Nightingale Quarter is a key asset in the centre of Derby. Cleared city sites of this size are rare. Seeing work commence shows the ambitions of the city to create a new urban village and fits with the masterplan to deliver 1,900 new homes.
“Wavensmere have a successful track record with similar schemes in the West Midlands. Their investment in The Nightingale Quarter is a long-term commitment to Derby and will provide a desirable place to live in the city,” he added.
It was revealed last year that the cost of homes start for a two-bed property at £185,000 and for a three-bed property at £220,000. Help to Buy is also available for first time buyers.

“Babcock Wanson is proud to have been a key contributor to this document” states Chris Horsley, process engineering director at Babcock Wanson. “As a manufacturer of the full gamut of industrial process heating systems, we have extensive, invaluable experience in this field, from best practice in designing systems, through to health and safety and operational procedures. Thermal fluid systems are increasingly popular due to their ease of use, longevity, energy efficiency and more, and, whilst they are far easier to manage than, say, a comparable steam system, understanding how they work and their parameters is important to ensure you get the most out of your investment, including energy efficiency, safety and long life.”
‘Thermal Fluid Systems - A Practical Guide for Safe Design, Operation and Maintenance’ covers the full range of issues pertinent to thermal fluid systems, from why and when to use them and system design considerations such as choice of fluid, heat source, expansion and deaeration, pumps and pipework, to installation and commissioning and operation and maintenance. Training is also addressed, along with legislative requirements. Babcock Wanson has worked closely with the CEA on this and other projects, including additional boiler guides and producing the first Boiler Operation Accreditation Scheme (BOAS) Cat 5 training course for Coil type Steam Generator Operators in the UK. The CEA is an educational charity which promotes the science of combustion

Babcock Wanson announces launch of new cea thermal fluid system guide
engineering in the commercial and industrial sectors. The CEA is concerned with industry good practice and the safe and efficient operation of combustion related plant and equipment, and offers guidance and accredited training schemes that match the wide range of industrial combustion plant available today.
David Kilpatrick, Director of the CEA, has said “that without the significant input of Babcock Wanson and other members of the CEA this, and other similar guides, would not be possible, and I would hope that industry now takes up the training that is available to support this guide and understands the legislative requirements”.
Babcock Wanson offers a complete range of products and services for boiler houses and other process heating needs, from steam boilers, thermal fluid heaters, rapid steam generators and hot water boilers to VOC and odour treatment by thermal oxidation, water treatment or process air heating solutions. The company aims to help optimise customer’s energy production with high quality products and efficient service. The new ‘Thermal Fluid Systems - A Practical Guide for Safe Design, Operation and Maintenance’ is available to order from the CEA website -
