TEMPORARY BOILER BOILER FOR CONSTRUCTION SITE IN SOUTH-EAST LONDON

PROVIDING RELIABLE HEAT DURING PLANT ROOM TESTING

A major construction project in South-East London required a temporary boiler hire solution to provide heat-only support while the new plant room systems were undergoing testing and before the mains connections were fully installed. Heating was essential to keep the wider programme on track. Any delay would have risked significant knock-on effects for the project schedule and other contractors working on-site.

Ideal Heat Solutions was tasked with delivering a robust, fully managed hire package that ensured reliable heating was available exactly when needed, with zero disruption to other construction works.

OUR TEMPORARY BOILER RESPONSE: STEP BY STEP

  • Our approach was systematic, efficient, and tailored to the specific requirements of the site.

  •  

    – SITE SURVEY & SPECIFICATION

    Within 24 hours of receiving the enquiry, our engineers conducted a full site survey. This assessment focused on:

    • – Restricted access routes for equipment delivery and safe positioning.
    •  
    • – Heat-only requirements to support plant room testing.
    •  
    • – Connection points for safe integration with the existing infrastructure.

    By identifying potential challenges early, we designed a solution that would be quick to install and effective in operation.

    – EQUIPMENT DELIVERY

    The following equipment was dispatched promptly:

    • – 250kW Oil-Fired Boiler – reliable and powerful for consistent heating output.
    •  
    • – 3,000L Fuel Tank – ensuring a secure and uninterrupted fuel supply.
    •  
    • – Heat-Only Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) and Pump – enabling safe integration with the system.
    •  
    • – Stainless Steel Braided Pipework – leak-free, durable, and quick to connect.

    All equipment was configured before arrival to reduce installation time and keep disruption to a minimum.

    – INSTALLATION & SETUP

    Our installation team carefully positioned the boiler within the restricted access area of the site. The PHE and pump were connected directly into the plant room system, and stainless steel hoses were securely fitted.

    The unit was pressure tested, commissioned, and fully operational within hours of arriving on site. This meant the construction team could continue testing the new plant room without interruption or delay.

    – SYSTEM DESIGN & OPERATION

    The temporary system delivered consistent heating output throughout the testing period. System performance was stable and monitored closely by our engineers, providing peace of mind that the project would remain on schedule.

SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT DEPLOYED

Every component was selected for its efficiency, reliability, and compliance with construction safety standards:

  •  
  • – 250kW Oil-Fired Boiler – compact but high-output, ideal for construction applications.
  •  
  • – 3,000L Bunded Fuel Tank – ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
  •  
  • – HTG Plate Heat Exchanger & Pump – safe and efficient heat transfer into the plant system.
  •  
  • – Stainless Steel Braided Hoses – flexible, durable, and suited to challenging site conditions.
  •
