What is District Heating?

District heating is one of the cleanest and most efficient ways to warm buildings.

Hot water (up to 120°C) travels through insulated underground pipes to multiple properties; the cooled water returns for reheating from a central energy centre. This approach:

  • Enables low-carbon heat by using renewable or waste-heat sources

  • Improves energy security and stabilises heating costs

  • Supports the UK’s net-zero targets by replacing gas boilers

  • Scales from a single development to entire communities

Consultancy & Design

Feasibility studies, 3-D route modelling and in-depth utility surveys. Our civil and mechanical engineers work with clients to plan optimal pipe routes, minimise disruption and standardise designs to control costs.

Procurement & Installation

We source high-quality pre-insulated steel or polymer pipework and pass supplier discounts on to you. Our qualified in-house civil and mechanical teams coordinate deliveries, welding, trenching, testing and commissioning with a strong focus on health and safety, and quality.

Site Safety Management

Comprehensive construction phase plans, site waste management plans and strict permit systems (including Section 50’s) for excavation, plant movements and lifting operations ensure safety and compliance.
