GECCO Hits the High Note with Royal Opera House Project

GECCO has won a contract to install a closed loop Ground Source Heat Pump system for the Royal Opera House workshop building in Purfleet, via its client Swiftline Engineering Limited.

The project, which is designed to feed the building's underfloor heating and cooling system, consists of 16No. 130mdeep boreholes that will provide some 130kW of peak heating and cooling. Additionally, 2No. 40kW reverse cycle heat pumps and 1No. 50 kW reverse cycle heat pump were installed within the plant room, to provide flexibility of operation under different loading conditions that will be experienced throughout the year.

Commenting on the project Matt Love, (MD of GECCO) said: "Working on such a prestigious project is not without its challenges, drilling Ground source boreholes to a depth of 130m, 95% of which is within the chalk bedrock strata, requires specialist and local knowledge of the ground conditions. The key focus with this particular contract is that of programme, the drilling programme is only two weeks, so up to three rigs will have been mobilised to achieve the outputs required. Space is a premium on site as with most built up areas so careful management of the rigs and associated equipment to maintain efficient working whilst maintaining a high standard of Health and Safety."

GECCO's installation is part of a wider construction project being undertaken by main contactor McLaren Construction, and commenced 8^th March 2010 for completion later this year.
