Case Study Overview

During Spring 2021, the well-known property developer Bellway Homes engaged in an internal project, carrying out construction works for a new office block at their Merstham base in Surrey. However, the project was threatened by wet weather and damp air in May.

Challenge

As the new build was not yet watertight, a heating and drying solution was urgently required to keep the project on track and protect the work already completed. Lack of climate control equipment can lead to numerous knock-on effects, such as delays to floor laying and plastering. Therefore, creating dry heat and an ambient temperature was a top priority.

Solution

RVT recommended the Climex 110kw Indirect Oil-Fired Heater to create a flow of dry heat via flexible ducting throughout the building core. This was paired with Climex Air Distribution Kits to ensure that warm air was evenly distributed through the damp areas and that the main fabric of the new build dried out.
