Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Oxford

Oxford University's £70m Mathematical Institute is just one part of this £200m redevelopment of the 10-acre site.

ESH were contracted to design, supply and install a frost protection trace heating system to the external CWM pipework. Type FBT self limiting heating cable was used throughout this project.

* Type H2OWAT Heating Cable *

Salford WWTW

ESH supplied and installed a trace heating system using type FBT self regulating heating tape to provide frost protection to various external pipework.

Operating Theatres, Northern General Hospital

Our second project here at this Sheffield based hospital saw ESH design, supply and install two separate trace heating systems:

• The first system was designed using our type FTB self limiting heating tape to provide frost protection to external chilled pipework

• The second frost protection system on the HTG pipework was Raychem specified, 70m of Raychem FS-A-2X heating tape was supplied and installed

Halstead Bio-Waste

Designed, supplied and installed a frost protection trace heating system to two runs of metal pipework containing cold water. One run of pipework was leading to the turbo dissolvers, the other to the heat exchangers. Type FBTBOJ self regulating heating cable was installed throughout.

* Type FBT Trace Heating Cable *

Social Justice Centre, London
