Complex M&E installation including asbestos removal and ground-source heat pumps.
We supported this project from its earliest stages, developing the Stage 2-3 client-side design detail before continuing in a technical advisory role. This included reviewing contractor proposals, advising on heritage-sensitive interventions and ensuring technical, programme and cost risks were understood and managed.
The scheme presented several challenges inherent in adapting a 1970s listed building. Original duct routes and associated fabric needed to be preserved, limiting new M&E installation pathways and driving bespoke engineering solutions. There was also asbestos within original plant areas, risers and service zones which required staged removal, enhanced protection and careful sequencing.
Despite these constraints, the project delivered several sustainability outcomes.
For example, a major open-loop ground-source heat pump system replaced the legacy gas boilers, removing fossil-fuel dependency. Skylight and roof improvements have increased natural light penetration, reducing reliance on artificial lighting. Landscape and environmental enhancements have also been implemented, supporting on-site biodiversity and contributing to the campus’s wider sustainability objectives.
Trinity Road provides a modern, resilient and energy-efficient workplace supporting over 4,500 colleagues under a hybrid model.
