Bradford Girls’ Grammar School: Sports Hall Heating System Replacement

Project Overview

Service 2 successfully completed a comprehensive heating system upgrade for Bradford Girls’ Grammar School’s sports hall facilities. This project involved replacing an outdated boiler system with modern, high-efficiency equipment to enhance reliability, improve energy performance, and ensure consistent heating for this critical educational space.

Challenge

The existing sports hall heating infrastructure presented several challenges:

        •        Ageing boiler system with declining efficiency and reliability

        •        Inadequate hot water provision for changing facilities

        •        Increasing maintenance costs and frequent repairs

        •        Energy consumption concerns impacting the school’s operational budget

        •        Need to maintain comfortable conditions for physical education activities

Solution

Our team designed and implemented a bespoke heating solution tailored to the specific requirements of an educational sports facility:

        •        Removed the existing outdated boiler system and associated pipework

        •        Installed two Ideal Evomax natural gas wall-mounted boilers

        •        Integrated two ACV hot water cylinders to provide reliable and abundant hot water

        •        Upgraded associated plant equipment including pumps, valves and controls

        •        Implemented new pipework configurations to optimise system performance

        •        Completed the project during a scheduled school holiday period to minimise disruption

Results

The modernised heating system has delivered significant benefits to Bradford Girls’ Grammar School:

        •        Enhanced reliability ensuring consistent heating for sports activities throughout the year

        •        Improved hot water capacity and delivery for changing room facilities

        •        Reduced energy consumption through higher-efficiency equipment

        •        Decreased maintenance requirements and operational costs

        •        Extended system lifespan with modern, serviceable equipment

This project demonstrates our expertise in educational facility heating systems, particularly our ability to deliver complex installations within tight timeframes while meeting the specific requirements of school environments.
