Project: Caludon Centre, Packaged Boiler Plant
Main contractor: L. Darby & Son Ltd
Procurement route: competitive tender
Contract type: Design & Build
Contract value: £200,000
Project Overview:
Our team delivered a bespoke packaged plant room solution to improve heating efficiency and reliability at the Caludon Centre, part of Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust. The Centre, located on the University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) site, provides vital inpatient and outpatient mental health services, making continuity of heating and hot water essential.
When the existing boiler plant required replacement, the Trust needed an immediate, efficient, and resilient solution that would minimise downtime while supporting long-term decarbonisation plans. Modern condensing boilers offered the fastest route to improved performance, and a packaged plant room provided the flexibility needed for future estate-wide upgrades.
We designed and delivered an externally sited packaged plant room housing two high-efficiency condensing boilers, providing a total output of 1,800 kW. The system incorporates a plate heat exchanger for seamless integration with the existing distribution network, along with all necessary pipework, controls, air/dirt separation, dosing, lighting and power distribution. Space was intentionally built in for future equipment to support the Trust’s net-zero roadmap.
Early engagement with the Trust’s estates team ensured the design met all operational, safety and logistical requirements. Collaborative planning allowed swift resolution of site constraints, ensuring best-practice installation with minimal disruption to clinical services.
Manufactured off-site, the packaged plant room was delivered fully assembled, significantly reducing on-site labour, programme time and hot works—supporting the Trust’s strict safety and compliance standards.
Once connected, commissioned and handed over, the new system immediately improved heating reliability and efficiency at the Caludon Centre.
The Trust has expressed its satisfaction with the high build quality, smooth installation process and future-ready design.
Our team is proud to have supported the Trust in taking an important step toward a lower-carbon estate while enhancing resilience in a mission-critical healthcare environment.
