Our engineering solutions are vital for:

  • Hospitals (Acute & Community): We design systems for generators that support life-critical environments. Under healthcare safety standards, these facilities must power operating theatres and life-support systems for a minimum of one hour, though our systems are often engineered for 24+ hour continuous operation.
  • Diagnostic Centres: Protecting high-value assets and public health data. Our flues support the backup power required to safeguard MRI/CT scanners and temperature-sensitive pathology samples.
  • Police & Fire Stations: Ensuring the resilience of national emergency communication grids. We provide the infrastructure that keeps command centers operational when every second counts.
  • Correctional Facilities & Prisons: Powering essential security protocols, including perimeter lighting, automated gate-locking systems, and high-security surveillance networks.

Darlington Memorial Hospital

The scope involved a comprehensive exhaust and chimney installation for Darlington Memorial Hospital's new energy center. This facility houses three Cummins Generators, two Byworth Steam Boilers, and a Byworth LPHW Boiler, with future capacity for a CHP unit. Schiedel was commissioned to supply and install all exhaust systems, including a massive 40-meter-high free-standing multicore chimney.

Raigmore Hospital

This extensive three-phase project involved the installation of a comprehensive chimney network to support new biomass and dual-fuel boilers. Phases one and two focused on two 600mm ID biomass boiler systems integrated into an existing concrete chimney. The final phase expanded the facility's capacity with two 300mm dual-fuel boiler flues and an additional 450mm system, ensuring a robust and versatile energy center capable of supporting the hospital’s long-term heating needs.

Royal Liverpool University Hospital

This project centered on the installation of a sophisticated exhaust network for the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. The facility relies on heavy-duty Cummins generators to maintain power during emergencies. The scope involved engineering a durable flue system that could handle high-temperature output while integrating into technical service ducts. It was finalized as a key part of the hospital's infrastructure.

Scottish Southern General Hospital

Supply and installation of 22 stainless steel system chimneys with a supporting mast for the energy centre. The mast and chimneys had to be lowered by crane through an opening in the roof of the building. This meant that the plan needed to come together for the supply and erection of the chimneys on the mast sections, to be delivered to site in full and on time to tie in with the crane hire.
