Supermarket’s Heat

Posted Date 20/12/2010

After a failure of the central heating boilers in a major supermarket, an emergency call was received by Andrews Boiler Hire for the supply of a temporary boiler unit and Air Handling Units to provide heated air for the customers and staff. A qualified Andrews Specialist Hire Technical Engineer was on site within 4 hours of the call to asses the feasibility of a temporary Heating System . After discussions with the store manager a 500kW Boiler coupled to 10 x 60kW Air Handling Units, was delivered, installed and commissioned (outside of opening times) to maintain trade.

Lake Cleaning

Posted Date 02/12/2010

When a new customer contacted Sykes Pumps to help with the removal of silt and leaf debris from an estate lake in Berkshire we were only too pleased to use our expertise to assist them.

The customer had their own floating craft with a macerator type pump which pumps the silt ashore and into hessian sacks, these collect the silt and allow the water to run off.

In this instance the craft pump was not capable of pumping the required distance involved (over 100mtrs) so a Sykes GP150M Hatz diesel driven pump was used to pump the water and silt the extra distance required for the operation to be completed.
