One of our latest sustainable construction initiatives is the geothermal pile, which has been successfully undertaken recently at Bracknell & Wokingham College and Bolton College.
Government regulations, which came into effect in April 2006, tipped the balance by requiring developers to source a percentage of the energy requirements for new buildings from within the site itself.
Using an environmentally efficient method, geothermal pipes are installed within piles. These piles facilitate water flow to transfer energy from the ground into the building's heating and cooling system. Integral pipe work is installed within the reinforcing cage in the pile foundations, using bored holes.
We provide a service to liaise with geothermal suppliers and construction companies to install geothermal pipe work into pile foundations. This provides the infrastructure for geothermal installations to be built in as part of the building's heating and cooling requirements.
