Emergency boiler hire keeps navy base operational

Posted Date 18/12/2019

When one of the country’s most prominent naval bases suffered a leak on their district mains system, the facilities management company responsible for the site contacted us in search of an emergency boiler hire solution.

The client became aware of our services some time ago after our local territory sales manager visited site to promote our contingency planning capabilities. This initial consultation prompted the FM company to discuss the concept with senior figures at the naval base, who then instructed our client to engage with us due to ongoing issues with the district mains system.

Andrews Boilers provide emergency solution for prison in Kent

Posted Date 11/02/2019

When a prison on the Kent coast suffered a boiler breakdown unexpectedly, Andrews Boilers was contacted regarding a solution.

Without a functional boiler, everyday tasks including cooking and cleaning cannot be undertaken properly which led to the facilities manager contacting us out of hours.

It was hoped that hot water and heating services could be restored as soon as possible and so an Andrews representative visited site to outline the best course of action. It was important that the prison’s day-to-day requirements were taken into account so that a boiler of sufficient capacity could be installed.

Andrews provide short-term boiler rental for local town hall

Posted Date 09/01/2018

At Andrews Boilers, we take pride in providing our customers with vital heating amenities in the event of a system failure. So, when an existing boiler system was struggling to maintain a desirable temperature inside a local town hall, our specialists were contacted and asked to provide equipment to improve conditions.

A short-term boiler rental was urgently required in the absence of a fixed system to ensure all staff were kept comfortable and productive during the busy Christmas period.

After a site visit had been carried out, our recommendation was to supply the client with a 100kW gas boiler supplied with a natural gas burner and various lengths of hosing which was placed through the back window of the building’s plant room.

Andrews launch largest boiler hire unit yet

Posted Date 15/02/2017

In major projects where large capacities of hot water are required on one site, it has generally led to a number of boilers being required to ensure demand is met. Andrews Boilers have identified this issue and we are now delighted to add our newest and largest unit to an already comprehensive hire fleet.

The 1,500kW LPHW boiler is a special low-emission hot water boiler that features 3-stage low NOx (Nitrous Oxide) burner technology to maximise fuel savings and meet current emission standards.

Suitable for use in a broad range of applications, the 1,500kW LPHW boiler is perfect for district heating systems, factories, sports & leisure centres, retail environments, hospitals and production facilities – among many others.

Andrews Boilers keep healthcare residential unit functional during refurbishment project

Posted Date 15/12/2016

The largest healthcare service in England had plans of undergoing an extensive extension and refurbishment project. However, before this could take place, a temporary boiler was required to provide the residential unit with constant heating while the boiler house underwent a re-fit.

Following an urgent call out, an Andrews engineer visited the location and recommended a 250kW boiler hire unit complete with temporary pipe work.

Logistical problems and a lack of space on the active site made it infeasible to station the temporary boiler near the existing boiler house. Our solution was to position the boiler a short distance away, providing the client with additional hose runs to connect to the existing flow and return stabbings.

British Army harness horse power to produce renewable energy

Posted Date 05/10/2015

With more and more organisations now seeking environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional power sources, the British Army have also taken the unprecedented step of using horse power to produce renewable energy.

Andrews Boilers were directly involved in aiding the transition to a biomass scheme by connecting a 250kW boiler to the client’s plate heat exchanger. The heat produced was then used against the cooling system to check operational performance – a vital phase in the process.

This test was necessary to ascertain effectiveness ahead of a fully-fledged power plant being commissioned, with the project overseen by one of the UK’s largest regeneration specialists. Our client had anticipated using the waste of up to 150 horses to produce energy, and these are stabled in Woolwich.

Replacement of a 250 kW boiler for Stirling Council

Posted Date 16/04/2014

When Stirling Council needed their main boiler replaced at their offices, they required an immediate solution in order to maintain a practical working environment. Andrews Boiler Hire was contacted and following a comprehensive evaluation of the site, we provided a 250 kW gas fired boiler. The boiler was supplied for six weeks and ensured the temperature of the building was kept at the correct level, allowing councillors to continue working on site.

Andrews Boiler Hire encountered a couple of problems during the operation, but our specialist team had the boiler installed and fully functioning within a couple of hours of the call-out. The council building was only accessible via a single track, but this did not prevent the technicians from completing the project quickly and efficiently.
