Sterling job for UK’s largest primary school


considerable electrical wiring was required. Cable management has been delivered by Marshall-Tufflex’s Sterling Profile system in white with a charcoal main compartment cover, a versatile, cost- effective, and high quality trunking that has a proven track-record of meeting the demands of school environments. Sterling Profile was specified following


the electrical contractor’s visit to an open day at Edmundson Electrical in Crayford, where they were impressed by the quality and cost-effectiveness of the Marshall-Tufflex system. The contractor said: “One of the key

Building had relied on an old cast iron sectional boiler for its heating. As part of good practice, the College Estates Bursar, Paul Williams, was keen to replace it ahead of the start of the new academic year. Williams’ main considerations were to


provide more efficient and reliable heating throughout the site. The refurbishment was required to take place within the fixed timeframe of the summer holidays to minimise disruption to the College. Consultant Steve Carroll at CODES


specified three Quinta Pro 90 boilers on a Remeha cascade system. These condensing boilers deliver high gross seasonal efficiencies of 95% for greater than average energy savings combined with ultra-low NOx emissions that qualify for maximum BREEAM points. “I always specify Remeha due to the quality and reliability of the products and the service,” commented Steve. The design was put out to tender and

factors in our decision was Sterling’s versatility – it can be used at a 90° bend, allowing installers to easily fit it in the new school without too much doctoring. Supply chain was also very important – we used hundreds of metres at Gascoigne, with the three compartment trunking in every single room apart from the kitchen and main hall.”

Clifton College upgrades heating system with Remeha boilers


LIFTON College in Clifton, Bristol, has improved the efficiency and reliability of its heating system with


won by Bristol-based contractors Cook & Harris. Archie Jefferies of Cook & Harris was


pleased with the specification. “We use Remeha boilers for most projects, so we’re familiar with them,” he said. “They are reliable, effective products that quite simply do everything they need to do.” Installing multiple condensing boilers in


a cascade arrangement optimises boiler efficiency, performance and lifecycle while enabling easier servicing and maintenance. This configuration also increases the turndown ratio of the fully modulating boilers so that they can match the fluctuating load more


accurately. All of which reduces energy waste for greater energy savings. Remeha’s comprehensive prefabricated


cascade system was specified for use on this project. The cleaner, more reliable and efficient


Remeha boilers are now commissioned and have been fully operational for several months. “We are very pleased with the installation and look forward to the increased efficiency and reduced energy consumption of the new Remeha boilers,” said Williams.
