Temperature Control for Olympics

Posted Date 10/01/2011

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

Climate Contingency Services to the Rescue

Posted Date 14/12/2009

CCS 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)
