SPIE Matthew Hall worked with supply chain in refurb to reduce services water use

The new infrastructure which services the building with heating and cooling has a capacity of approximately 100,000 litres of water. The design specification was originally shown with a requirement to carry out two static flushes in order to remove large debris and contaminated particles from within the pipe work prior to a dynamic flush. This alone would require 200,000 litres of potable water. SPIE Matthew Hall reviewed the specification with its supply chain suggesting a second static flush could be eliminated as it was deemed excessive for the systems being installed.

Key points


• Identify the most significant environmental aspects of a project (in this case water).
• Question conventional methods by engineering expertise.
• Link any reduced environmental impact to reduced cost where possible.
