Ivor King Goes Green With Support From Hsbc

A Midland’s civil engineering business is harnessing the sun’s power by installing 374 solar panels across its facility in Nuneaton, thanks to funding from HSBC UK

Engineering and construction company, Ivor King, has installed the panels, which now cover two-thirds of its headquarters’ roof, using HSBC UK’s Green Fund as part of a seven-figure funding package.

The funding support will also allow Ivor King to invest in multi-disciplinary, environmentally sensitive equipment, allowing the business to work in low-emission zones. This capability will help create an additional 20-30 jobs and follows a strong period of growth for the company which has seen turnover increase by nearly 40% in 12 months.

The support from HSBC UK has enabled a 140Kw solar panel installation – the annual carbon saving being the equivalent of planting 70-100 trees per year. The system is capable of halving the electricity bill throughout the summer months. Ivor King now has plans to install batteries on-site, increasing capacity and allowing energy generated on-site to power other parts of the company.

C-TEC’S CAST XFP FIRE SYSTEM PROTECTING SPIRITUAL RETREAT

C-TEC’s CAST XFP fire system has been installed at a stunning spiritual retreat in Llangollen, North Wales.

Tan-Y-Garth Hall is a beautiful Grade II listed house. It is owned by the International Hermeneutic Society and provides a spiritual haven for people interested in yoga, meditation, art, music and science.

The society’s plans to additionally utilise the building as a hotel meant the existing manual fire alarm system had to be replaced to comply with the relevant regulations. Fire specialist company, Allied Fire Alarms & Escapes, specified an L1 category fire alarm system to provide the highest standard for the protection of life. Featuring an XFP CAST panel connected to an array of heat, smoke and multi-sensor devices, the system is designed to deliver the earliest possible warning should a fire occur at the historic 17-bedroom hall, a popular venue for group workshops, location shoots, exhibitions and performances.

Conceived and designed by C-TEC as part of a 10-year, multi-million-pound project, CAST is said to be the world’s most-advanced ‘distributed intelligence’ fire alarm system protocol. C-TEC, c-tec.com

MER PLUGS IN KING’S COLLEGE LONDON

King’s College is expanding and updating its electric vehicle (EV) charging network with help from Mer

The EV charging specialist won the contract put out to tender by King’s, to grow and modernise its network of EV chargers across multiple sites. This included replacing older charging points with smart chargers, adding provision in new locations, networking all the chargers and providing a back-office system for monitoring and reporting.

Alexandra Hepple, Sustainability Officer at King’s College London says, “We have our own growing EV fleet and increasingly our contractors also use electric vehicles, leading to higher demand for charging. Mer has done a fantastic job of creating a charging network that suits our needs today and also enables us to expand in years to come.”

Mer carried out extensive site surveys across the King’s estate to identify utilisation rates of existing chargers. Mer’s team also pinpointed the optimal locations for additional charge points such as the new sports centre at Honour Oak Park in South London. In total Mer installed 15 AC charge points across eight sites – a mixture of 7kW and 22kW fast chargers.

The Mer Connect portal enables clients to manage individual or multiple sites, providing real time information on carbon savings, charger status and energy usage. It also allows site managers to set multiple tariffs for different use cases – for example, free charging for fleet vehicles, subsidised charging for employees, and a higher rate for visitors. Drivers can access the charge points via the Mer Connect app.
