Vital will be taking a phased installation approach to grow the solution in line with Redrow’s construction plans.

Vital will be providing the design, supply and installation services for the scheme, which consists of a 185kW CHP engine, three 533kW gas boilers, two 8,000 litre thermal stores, low temperature hot water system and 280m of district heating.

Vital will also be responsible for supplying the heat interface units for the development which consists of 313 new homes, alongside commercial units.

Vital adapted the design presented by Redrow’s consultants to provide a more financially beneficial and efficient solution.

The energy scheme will be installed alongside the development’s construction, with the CHP engine being switched on later in the development process when there is the required demand.

The project will also see Vital provide the additional infrastructure to futureproof the network by installing capped pipework to allow for the additional connections.

Rob Callagahan, Regional Director for the South for Vital Energi, said: “After working with Redrow on previous projects such as their Padcroft and 500 Chiswick Road developments, we are pleased that we have been selected to provide the energy scheme for this new development.

“We have carried out a detailed design to ensure the most financially beneficial and efficient solution has been provided and look forward to seeing the project implemented.”

The West Works development comprises one, two and three bedroom luxury apartments and is due for completion late 2019.
