Brierley Hill Medical Centre - Building Services - Hospitals and Healthcare
Project: Brierley Hill Medical Centre, West Midlands Client: Dudley South Primary Care Trust and Infracare Architect: Steffian Bradley Associates Consulting Engineer: Elementa Consulting Contractor: Carillion Planned Maintenance Distributor: Pipe Centre (Nottingham) Specification: Crane Fluid Systems - ProBalance balancing valves
Construction of the 11,000 sq m Brierley Hill Medical Centre, which will provide 21st century healthcare facilities for Dudley Primary Care Trust, has begun. Installed with a low energy M&E package, half the building will be naturally ventilated and the other half will rely on traditional HVAC systems. Over 1,200 Crane ProBalance valves will control the heating and chilled water flow through fan coil units within the 5 storey building.
Crane's ProBalance bronze balancing valves use fixed orifice technology to ensure fast commissioning and enhanced regulating performance. The compact design means they take up less space and the integral orifice reduces the need for on-site jointing, resulting in reduced installation costs for the contractor.
