CASE STUDY The Result
With the assistance of Smith Brothers and their Area Sales Manager, Ignis completed the complete overhaul within a tight programme and budgetary constraint. Smith Brothers Birmingham Branch Manager Nathan Field said, “Being a Blues fan, it’s great to see the investment our new owners are putting in. This is an example of a top quality installation from the fantastic team Ignis Group and I believe the result is a testament to their high superior levels of work!”
After the acquisition of Birmingham City Football Club by an American consortium, a major infrastructure project was initiated to overhaul the wet heating and hot water systems throughout the lower Kop and Tilton stands. As part of the overhaul of mechanical plant, Birmingham City FC were looking for a solution for quality valves, copper fittings, and channel components to be installed in the plant room refurbishment.
The Project
For the club’s principal mechanical contractor and a Smith Brothers Birmingham customer, Ignis group were engaged to commence a “turn-key” project overhauling the gas fired boilers and hot water infrastructure. As such, Ignis Group are responsible for compliance, service and maintenance of all heating and hot water services at the St Andrews stadium and Wast Hills training ground.
The Solution
Working in collaboration with Ignis Group, Smith Brothers obtained a detailed understanding of the technical requirements of this project. They recommended a range of CORE products for the installation, including CORE ball valves, as a quality and cost-effective alternative for the plant room at the ground.
The CORE ball valves used for the project shut off the flow to a system rather than restrict it, allowing users to isolate a section of pipework when required. The CORE range offers screwed, compression, and M&V press-ended options, in brass and DZR brass.
The comprehensive range of compression fittings are manufactured to the highest standard in the UK and complies with EN1254-1, providing the reliability, quality, and affordability that installers and consultants demand. They suit hot and cold water, heating installations, fuel, and industrial engineering applications.
Implementing CORE products within their HVAC installation gives the customer peace of mind that the products offer the ultimate performance and standards you would expect from a leading brand.
The brand was devised with the customer in mind, drawing from the knowledge and expertise of 125+ years of trading history. At Smith Brothers, product quality monitoring never stops, with all stock lines having audited systems and constant 360-degree feedback from customers, manufacturers and SBS staff members.
Conclusion
Ultimately, CORE proved to be a feasible alternative to other branded options. The products installed represent exceptional quality and true value, which is supported by Smith Brothers’ renowned service levels for expertise and knowledge within the industry maintained since 1897.
