TClarke Climate Solutions team leads major decarbonisation project with Exeter University
One of TClarke’s successful in-house startups, Climate Solutions leads critical decarbonisation projects in public and private sectors generating substantial revenue. Director Gary Tidball explains:
The present time is the perfect opportunity for us to utilise our engineering skills. Companies in all areas of the UK economy are required to move away from using fossil fuels and switch to low-carbon energy sources and more efficient energy systems. This is a complex engineering task that demands specialised skills, integrated teams, and expertise. Fortunately, we possess all these qualities and can deliver successful outcomes.
Recently, Climate Solutions completed the Bio-Science project at Exeter University with Willmott Dixon (pictured). The client from the University stated, “I do want to say that it has been a long time since I have seen such a quality M&E installation.”
This project is part of a broader decarbonisation project across the entire University Campus. Climate Solutions is also working on another project at Cornwall House, where they are removing two large commercial gas boilers and replacing them with a cascade heat pump system. The existing boilers serve the heating/hot water services and a swimming pool, so our challenge is to keep all these systems online while transitioning to the new heat pumps.
The Climate Solutions Team supports all the Group offices across the UK and is currently working with Oxford on projects at Portsmouth and Bournemouth Hospital and will be working with Bristol at Guys Marsh Prison and with Derby and Peterborough on various projects and also with London and the Design and Build Team.
