Bow Green

SDK Building Services Ltd undertook the supply and installation of the mechanical pipework systems serving the Bow Green residential development in London.

 

Our scope included the installation of a new energy centre, ground-floor mechanical distribution, vertical distribution to the roof-mounted air source heat pump (ASHP) system and connections to three main service risers, terminating at designated points for subsequent lateral installations by others.

 

*Energy Centre Installation*

 

The energy centre incorporates an ASHP pump set, heating pump set and two boilers, with provision for a further two boilers to accommodate future expansion.

 

Working with client-supplied plant, pumps and valves, SDK was responsible for supplying and installing the associated mechanical pipework, bracketry, supports and fixings throughout the installation.

 

Our works also included the installation of gas distribution pipework serving the boilers, alongside connections to the underground district pipework network, providing infrastructure for future phases of the development.

 

*Mechanical Distribution & Residential Amenities*

 

The ground-floor distribution systems were installed to serve a range of residential amenity facilities, including a gymnasium, cinema and swimming pool, providing essential mechanical services to the development's communal areas.

 

In addition, SDK installed the vertical mechanical distribution extending to the roof-mounted ASHP system and three main service risers, establishing the primary infrastructure for subsequent distribution throughout the residential development.

 

*Off-Site Prefabrication & Installation*

 

To support efficient project delivery, all pipework DN65 and above was prefabricated at SDK's dedicated off-site welding facilities before being transported to site for installation.

 

This approach allowed fabrication activities to progress alongside the on-site works, where a dedicated team of four operatives carried out the mechanical installations.

 

The boiler gas pipework was also prefabricated off-site, helping to reduce on-site fabrication requirements, improve installation efficiency and maintain consistent workmanship.

 

The Bow Green project demonstrates SDK Building Services' ability to deliver substantial energy centre and mechanical distribution packages, combining specialist pipework fabrication, coordinated site installation and the integration of multiple mechanical systems within a major residential development.
