Supply and Installation of 4 x Ø450 System Chimneys serving Dieselec Thistle Generators providing back up power to the Hospital. The exhausts were connected to the containerised plant rooms with framework allowing the horizontal exhausts to run parallel in pairs one in sets of two one above the other before reaching the main building where they could be supported directly from the building running horizontally then turning vertically before rising to termination after a 40m run.

Challenge

This work included the supply and installation of 4 number ICS5000 twin wall generator flues following agreed routes across generator containers supported on Big Foot and Unistrut framework before turning and being connected to the external wall of the structure, then rising up the external facade almost 40m terminating approximately 3m above roof level. Due to the profile of external concrete cladding panels Hilti resin bonded anchors were required to be installed at each flue support location.

Solution

Owing to limited site access Schiedel employed the services of specialist rope access teams allowing the installation of the external vertical flues. The ICS5000 System Chimney solution with its engineered precision joints and a designation of T600 H1 D V3 was chosen due to its ease of installation and proven track record. Detailed Risk Assessments and Method Statements were required to be submitted for approval by NHS authorities prior to commencement on-site.
