TEMPORARY BOILER HIRE SOLUTION FOR MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN WILTSHIRE

KEEPING PRODUCTION AREAS HEATED DURING PLANNED WORKS

When heating is essential for production efficiency, even short-term disruption can have significant consequences.
During planned maintenance works at a large manufacturing facility producing critical rail components, a temporary heating solution was required to maintain comfortable working temperatures across a key section of the factory floor.

The client needed a reliable system that could provide steady, efficient heat to the plant room serving the production area — all while fitting within limited space and maintaining strict health and safety standards.

Ideal Heat Solutions was commissioned to supply and install a temporary boiler hire system that could integrate seamlessly into the existing heating network. The goal: to maintain operational comfort for staff and consistent ambient conditions for manufacturing processes.

OUR TEMPORARY BOILER RESPONSE: STEP BY STEP

– SITE SURVEY & SPECIFICATION

Before installation, our experienced engineers carried out a full on-site survey to assess the heating requirements and logistical constraints of the facility.

The survey identified:

  • – Restricted access points to the plant room area.
  •  
  • – Tight space for equipment placement.
  •  
  • – The need for efficient hose routing to minimise heat loss.
  •  
  • – Connection points for integration with the building’s existing system.

Given the layout and available footprint, the 300kW slimline gas-fired boiler was selected as the ideal solution — compact, efficient, and perfectly suited for environments where space is at a premium.

The design prioritised safe installation, minimal disruption to ongoing operations, and compliance with manufacturing health and safety protocols.

– EQUIPMENT DELIVERY

Once the system design was approved, Ideal Heat Solutions dispatched all required equipment to the manufacturing site, including:

  • 300kW Slimline Gas-Fired Boiler – providing consistent, high-output heating for the production area.
  •  
  • – 50m of Steel-Braided Heating Hose – ensuring flexible, durable, and leak-free connections.
  •  
  • – 10m of Steel-Braided Gas Hose (50mm) – supporting safe fuel delivery to the unit.
  •  
  • – 25m Single-Phase 32A Extension Lead – ensuring reliable power connection for control systems.

All equipment was pre-tested and configured in-house, allowing the team to begin installation immediately upon arrival.

– INSTALLATION & SETUP

Due to the restricted layout within the facility, the slimline boiler’s small footprint proved invaluable. Using forklift assistance, the boiler was positioned precisely within the available space, ensuring it remained accessible for maintenance yet discreet and out of the main production zone.

Our engineers connected the heating hose to the existing plant room network, routed the water, gas and power supplies safely, and carried out thorough pressure and safety tests prior to commissioning.

Within hours, the system was fully operational — delivering reliable heat to the plant room that served the designated section of the manufacturing floor.

This careful setup allowed manufacturing operations to continue seamlessly, maintaining worker comfort and supporting production efficiency throughout the planned works.

– SYSTEM DESIGN & OPERATION

The temporary boiler provided consistent, high-efficiency heat output across the working area, helping to maintain optimal ambient temperatures for both staff and equipment.

The slimline design of the unit enabled safe integration without obstructing workflow or access routes — a crucial factor in high-traffic industrial environments.

Performance and temperature stability were monitored closely throughout the hire period, with Ideal Heat Solutions engineers providing ongoing technical support to ensure maximum reliability and efficiency.

SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT DEPLOYED

All equipment was selected to ensure energy-efficient performance, safety, and ease of integration within the manufacturing environment.

  •  
  • – 300kW Slimline Gas-Fired Boiler – compact and efficient, designed for industrial-scale heating in confined spaces.
  •  
  • – 50m of Steel-Braided Heating Hose – flexible, durable, and insulated for safe operation.
  •  
  • – 10m of Steel-Braided Gas Hose (50mm) – robust and compliant with all relevant safety standards.
  •  
  • – 25m Single-Phase 32A Extension Lead – ensuring stable power supply for control and monitoring systems.
  •  

This combination delivered an adaptable, high-performance heating setup that required minimal site modification.

CHALLENGES AND RESULTS

THE CHALLENGE

To deliver an efficient, high-output temporary boiler hire system within a space-restricted manufacturing environment, ensuring stable heating for the plant room that supported a key production zone.

The system needed to:

  • – Maintain consistent heat for staff comfort and production efficiency.
  •  
  • – Operate safely in a confined area with heavy equipment and foot traffic.
  •  
  • – Comply with all workplace safety and environmental regulations.
  •  
  • – Integrate quickly and effectively with the existing heating infrastructure.

OUR SOLUTION

Ideal Heat Solutions supplied and installed a 300kW slimline gas-fired boiler, supported by a full suite of ancillaries including steel-braided hoses and power leads.

The compact unit was forklifted into an optimum position, allowing for efficient hose routing and reducing overall footprint on-site.

This not only minimised disruption but also ensured that the heating system remained tucked away from main work areas — improving both safety and aesthetics within the manufacturing environment.

THE RESULT

    • The outcome was a smooth, efficient, and completely uninterrupted heating solution that kept production on track and staff comfortable.

      Key achievements included:

      • – Continuous heating throughout the maintenance period.
      •  
      • – Safe and compliant installation, meeting all relevant UK standards.
      •  
      • – Compact and discreet setup, optimising limited plant space.
      •  
      • – High client satisfaction, with feedback highlighting the small footprint and reliability of the system.

      The success of the project led to further opportunities for ongoing temporary heating and cooling support at the facility.
