Project - Plantroom Refurbishment

The Little Ship Club is a members sailing club located on the Thames next to Cannon Street station. Being built in 1989 the main plant room was suffering from a series of make do measures and was inoperable. ​

NBB Rail surveyed the ventilation system (AHUs and FCUs), LTHW, CHW, DHW. The full electrical distribution system and BMS. From this we developed a scope with the client which:​

• Replaced all the lighting within the club with energy efficient LED lighting​
• Rebuilt the BMS by upgrading to Trend IQ5 and refurbishing the MCC.​
• Removed all the old circulating pumps and dead legs within the LTHW and CHW services. Re-piped these in a new arrangement, provided new pumps controlled via the BMS and added in missing components such as buffer vessels.​
• Removed a redundant AHU and repaired the remaining AHUs including making alterations to ductwork and dampers.​
• Tested and inspected the new works and provided a full EICR for the premises.​

​

A second phase of works is currently in design to remove the existing calorifier, natural gas boiler and chiller in favour of modern energy efficient heating and cooling. This will:​

• Provide a dual condenser LG VRF system connected to refrigerant to water units and new chilled water buffers for the LTHW and CHW circuits.​
• Provide dual R290 heat pump cylinders for the DHW service serving all outlets throughout the club.​
