Scope of Works Delivered:
- Full mechanical installation for the decarbonisation of the Power Hall and 1830 WarehouseWater source heat pump and ground source heat pump systems
- New abstraction borehole with associated pumps and controls
- Electric steam boiler and steam distribution system
- Plate heat exchangers, associated pumps and accessories
- Modifications to existing heating distribution systems
- Integration of services with Historic Working Machinery
- Heating, ventilation, public health and drainage systems
This project seamlessly blends heritage conservation with cutting-edge low-carbon technology—future-proofing one of Manchester’s most significant cultural landmarks.
The reopening of the Power Hall was recently featured on ITV News, highlighting its importance to the city’s industrial story and its role in inspiring future generations.
We’re proud to have contributed to a space where innovation, sustainability, and history meet.
