UK South Energy Centre
In just 6 months, SOL Services completed the replacement of two 525kW chillers at an energy centre in the UK South, a project that involved mechanical, electrical, and builders work disciplines.
We replaced the ageing chillers with high-efficiency variable speed screw chillers and managed the associated works, including crane lifts, pipework alterations, controls upgrades, and glycol dosing. To ensure uninterrupted service, temporary chillers were installed and commissioned, supported by scaffolding and newly installed pipework.
Our team carried out extensive off-site prefabrication to minimise on-site health and safety risks and managed the decommissioning and disposal of the old equipment. The project also included water treatment with side stream and magnetic filtration, along with roof cleaning and bird netting works.
SOL Services collaborated with TP Engineering and coordinated 14 specialist sub-contractors, successfully delivering a reliable, energy-efficient solution. The client praised our meticulous planning and management, which ensured system functionality during the works with only minor weekend shutdowns.
