When RNW Group was awarded the mechanical works contract for the Premier Inn hotel in Enfield, the aim was clear: to replace the ageing gas boiler system with a modern, energy-efficient air-source heat pump solution. This project formed part of Whitbread’s broader sustainability drive to move towards carbon neutrality.
Undertaking this kind of retrofit in a live hotel environment presented numerous challenges. Ensuring guests remained unaffected was paramount, particularly when it came to hot water supply.
Space limitations within the plant room further complicated material handling and installation logistics. A solution was needed that would ensure minimal disruption, precise coordination, and reliable product delivery.
The Solution
With their longstanding relationship and history of successful collaboration, Brymec and RNW Group worked closely from the very beginning to ensure the project would run smoothly.
In the early planning stages, Brymec’s technical and logistics teams partnered with RNW to scope the system requirements and develop a comprehensive project package. This bespoke package brought together all necessary components to ensure the installation matched the project timeline and site constraints.
The package was delivered in bulk ahead of the project start, enabling RNW to begin work without delay. Brymec then supplemented this with deliveries, precisely scheduled to avoid overstocking, ensuring the installation team had the right materials at the right time. This played a critical role in maintaining project momentum and ensuring continuity of hot water for hotel guests throughout.
The support from Brymec was absolutely faultless. The precision and reliability of their deliveries meant we could stick to our schedule without compromising guest experience.
