Case Study: Boiler Replacement at Marlow International
Upgrading Critical Heating Infrastructure
Overview
PTM Combined Services successfully completed the replacement of a commercial boiler plant at Marlow International, delivering a modern, energy-efficient heating solution to improve system reliability and operational performance. The project involved the safe removal of the existing boiler and the installation of a new commercial boiler within a constrained plant room environment.
The Challenge
The existing boiler had reached the end of its operational life and required replacement with minimal disruption to the client’s day-to-day operations. Due to the size and weight of the equipment, careful planning was essential to safely remove the old boiler and maneuver the new unit into position within a restricted access area.
The project required:
- Detailed lifting and logistics planning.
- Safe removal of the existing commercial boiler.
- Installation of the replacement boiler within a confined plant room.
- Integration with the existing heating system.
- Testing and commissioning to ensure reliable operation.
Our Solution
Working closely with the client and specialist lifting contractors, PTM Combined Services coordinated every stage of the project. The old boiler was carefully disconnected and removed using specialist lifting equipment before the new boiler was delivered, positioned and installed.
Our engineers completed all associated mechanical connections, ensuring the new system integrated seamlessly with the existing plant. Following installation, comprehensive testing and commissioning were carried out to verify safe and efficient operation.
Results
The replacement was completed safely and efficiently, providing Marlow International with a reliable, modern heating system designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce future maintenance requirements. Careful planning ensured the project was delivered with minimal disruption to the client’s operations.
