Extreme electric racing seeks Andrews Heat emergency heating

Posted Date 20/02/2019

Every year, London is selected as the ideal location for many exciting and innovative events – and 2019 has so far proven to be no different. One of these well-attended events recently took place near London Bridge, where a historic ship hosted an extreme electric car racing event.

The ship, which used to be a Royal Mail vessel servicing British territory, is the first of its kind to be used for this type of occasion. The rationale behind the choice stems from it being perceived as more environmentally friendly than traditional racing.

Electric heaters for large London event

Posted Date 18/02/2019

One of the UK’s largest exhibition centres stands alongside the River Thames in East London and is well-known for hosting major trade shows and other high-profile events. Due to our previous involvement with the venue, Andrews Heat for Hire is regularly asked to assist when events are hosted here.

A temporary external structure outwith the main building was being used to host props, robotics and other sensitive equipment portraying the world’s most famous super heroes, which unsurprisingly attracted a great deal of interest from fans across the country. Andrews was therefore tasked with keeping the attraction warm and dry given that the event ran during the winter months.

As winter approaches, those responsible for organising seasonal events must consider whether a source of temporary heating might be feasible or necessary. A simple heater hire arrangement may seem non-essential, but there is no doubt this is likely to be well-received by your staff and visitors.

Over the last few years, Andrews Heat for Hire has supplied one of the world’s first pop-up shopping and leisure facilities with some equipment to ensure conditions remain inviting for customers even when outdoor temperatures are low. Last month, we were once again contacted by the event’s management team and asked to provide a heating arrangement similar to the one that had worked so successfully on previous occasions.

When one of the world’s most powerful political leaders arrived to address an exclusive gathering at Wembley, a number of steps were taken to ensure the event ran smoothly. Around 60,000 people packed into the national stadium to witness a celebratory speech from Prime Minister Modi who had made the trip to acknowledge the presence of almost two million British Indians living here in the UK.

With seasonal temperatures beginning to fall in mid-November, event organisers sought a temporary heating solution to operate while Mr. Modi and others were on stage. Logistical factors – the large exposed space and an open roof – meant that a spot heating arrangement would be the best option.

As one of the country’s most frequently visited tourist spots, the Tower of London’s climate control arrangements face much scrutiny should customers complain about its perceived ineffectiveness. So when a new chiller system was installed on site before seasonal temperatures could dramatically rise, it was of paramount importance that the unit was subjected to a thorough heat load test.

Approximately 80kW of heat was needed to ascertain whether the chiller was ready to be commissioned, meaning some temporary equipment was sourced to facilitate the assessment being carried out.

An existing system linked to a large lake in the grounds is capable of generating a 5°C uplift all year round. However, as the wedding party hail from warmer climates, additional heating was sought to replicate the environment they are used to overseas.

Before officially opening to the public, a new festive experience based in Kent required temporary heating on site to ensure visitors stayed warm during their stay. One of our regional experts was sent to conduct a survey of the premises, before proposing an appropriate hire solution.

Two areas needed climate control – a large marquee and separate themed building – and we sent two high capacity heaters as a result. Within 24 hours, two indirect fired oil models were stationed within the vicinity – underlining our quick response to the initial callout.
