The project comprised new steam plate heat exchangers to supply the existing services within the ground floor plant room of the Oncology Department.
The steam supply was taken from the existing steam infrastructure which was within the plantroom, to provide a run and standby system.
Both of the existing hot water generators became redundant and were removed as part of the works.
To ensure disruption was kept to a minimum, the new steam pressure reducing set was installed before any isolation took place.
