St Michael’s Court, Lichfield Boiler Replacement

EP Consulting successfully completed a £186k boiler replacement project at St Michael’s Court in Lichfield, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the South Staffordshire & Shropshire Healthcare facilities. This project was executed with precision, incorporating innovative solutions to maintain uninterrupted services throughout the installation.

Scope of Work

Our team undertook a comprehensive upgrade of the existing boiler, hot water, and control systems. We provided detailed feasibility studies, budget costing, and mechanical design services, tailored to the specific needs of the healthcare facility. Managed in collaboration with Focus Consultants, the project ensured compliance with the latest industry standards for safety and efficiency.

Challenges and Solutions

The main challenge was replacing the critical boiler system while keeping services operational. EP Consulting addressed this by deploying a temporary hired boiler plant, ensuring that live services continued uninterrupted throughout the project. Additionally, the scope was expanded to replace corroded mains, pre-empting potential future issues and further securing the facility's infrastructure.

Results and Impact

The new boiler plant was installed, commissioned, and made operational within just eight weeks. The upgrades have significantly improved energy efficiency and reliability, reduced operational costs, and ensured a stable environment for patients and staff. EP Consulting’s expertise in mechanical design and project management has delivered a robust solution, strengthening the healthcare facility’s infrastructure for years to come.
