Temperature Control for Olympics
Monday, January 10th, 2011
Andrews Chiller Hire supplied a 200kW Heat Pump Chiller for the Olympic site in London to guarantee that concrete production was not interrupted. Concrete batching in all temperatures has become an increasing demand due to build projects schedules and pressure on developers and construction companies to deliver on deadlines.
This has caused concrete suppliers to meet the demand on their product by ensuring they can guarantee product during all extreme weather conditions. Importance of controlling concrete temperature is critical. Temperature affects fresh and hardened properties of concrete as well as the thermal cracking potential. Careful attention must be paid to batch temperatures in hot and cold weather concreting. For more information visit www.andrews-sykes.com

Cold Customers Mean No Customers
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Matthew Stapley, our Technical Service Manager started his day with a local drive to complete a site survey. The customer was an international brewery and distillery group requiring a chiller hire solution for the cooling of beer in the brewing stages.
It was a bitterly cold morning and the forecast was for snowfall at about 3pm, Matthew arrived on site, met the customer and they agreed a chiller rental solution for their problem. So, off he went on his way back with the thought of a snow blizzard on his mind.
Matthew was just a few miles from his M25 turn off on the M1 when the phone rang to tell him of a heating failure in a major London supermarket store. The gas boiler connected to the heating and hot water circuits had broken down and cold disgruntled customers were leaving the store.
Despite the worsening weather conditions, Matthew had no hesitation in heading straight to the store to assess the problem and advise on the best solution.
He got to the site at about 2pm and had a 500 kw commercial boiler installed and running in no time and so he made his way home. The journey would normally only take him about 1 hour and is no more then 8 miles in distance.
But then the snow started to fall and it was not going to stop for anybody. Matthew spent the next 3 hours doing a total of 3 miles and not seeing a way home possible, he decided to put his hat and gloves on and start the 5 mile walk home. He eventually arrived at home about 10pm after stopping at the local for a quick one!
Climate Contingency Services to the Rescue
Monday, December 14th, 2009CCS Saves The Day
When a major cable TV and communications company suffered a chiller breakdown in a business-critical IT and communications room, temperatures soared. Fortunately a climate contingency plan was in place and a CCS business continuity team was deployed. Five portable air conditioning units with remote condensers were delivered and installed within two hours, averting costly downtime and ensuring customer satisfaction was maintained. ” We received notification that our existing cooling system was failing, a CCS technician had visited site 3 months prior and we had signed an agreement to cover said emergency, we contacted CCS at 3.00 am in the morning and within 2 hours the temporary cooling equipment was installed and operational. The potential cost to the business in failure of cooling equipment for our data room would have been hundreds of thousands of pounds” Phillip Radburn (Head of IT)
