Case Study 1: Savoy Hotel London

Project: Plant removal
Client: Evolve Energy

This current prestigious project involves the removal of four 10 tonne standby generators and four 20 tonne boilers from the basement of London’s show case Savoy hotel. The generators and boilers are being dismantled by hand into sections weighting between 1 – 3 tonnes and removed from the basement via a hoist and beam system which has been installed, tested and certificated for purpose.

Works have been severely hampered by the confined space environment and the restricted access to the building for the removal of the generator and boiler sections. Following the safe removal of this heavy plant, the basements require jet washing with an environmental cleansing detergent and the assistance of vacuum tankers parked some 30 metres from the work area. These basement areas are then to be refurbished to suit the future requirements of the hotel.
