The residents of Allen Court have taken control of their own heat demand following this £200,000 planned upgrade by our client Clanmil Housing Group Housing.
Our team set about in a rapid programme to remove the communal gas system and install 34 new individual metered gas boilers with all associated works and modern controls.
This upgrade gives the residents the ability to plan and manage their own heat demand in a controlled manner using the latest energy efficient IDEAL BOILERS LIMITED.
The boilers are future proofed for the decarbonisation of the gas grid with hydrogen ready and biogas technology.
We marked International Women’s Day by having the wonderful Amy from Womenstec at our HQ last week and what an informative day it was for the ladies in the company.
CTS helped Womenstec in setting up their premises in Newry for the “BuildHer Summer Scheme” in Whitegates Workshop earlier this summer. The girls had a chance to try joinery and woodworking to make their own toolboxes and noughts and crosses games as well as ask questions and try out power tools.
We are delighted to have worked with Womentec in order to make it possible for local schools to partake in such workshops and hopefully we’ll have inspired the next generation of women into construction.
