Aggreko Builds Reputation For Construction Solutions
Aggreko, the global leader in temporary power and temperature
control solutions, provided a temporary heating and
dehumidification package to main contractors FCC Elliott
Construction to assist in the construction programme of the new 312
bed South West Acute Hospital at Enniskillen in Northern
Ireland.
Aggreko initially supplied six 125 kW IDF heaters and 12 1600 KT
dehumidifier packages to dry and heat the clinical and ward blocks
of the new hospital - to 6C - to enable painting of the interiors.
Moisture and temperature control equipment was also supplied in
basement corridors to protect electrical equipment and busbars from
moisture.
The temporary dehumidifiers were deployed on site in sequence to
remove excess moisture from each block of the hospital. Flexible
ducting took hot air from the temporary heaters to each floor, and
polyducting was suspended from corridor ceilings to distribute air
throughout each floor area.
Howard Sharp, Construction Director at FCC Elliott Construction,
said: “Aggreko provided an effective temporary moisture and
temperature control solution which is assisting us to continue to
deliver this high quality healthcare facility on time and on
budget. Their technical expertise and professional, high standard
of service throughout the project has been invaluable on such a
large, high profile scheme.”
Martin Byrne, sales manager at Aggreko, said: “It is vital that
construction programmes run according to schedule, particularly on
major developments, as delays can have a huge impact on project
costs. Our temporary dehumidification and temperature control
equipment ensures the correct conditions for electrical
installations and internal finishes such as paint and floor
coverings, assisting contractors to deliver projects to meet their
clients' requirements.”
