Contract Value £125,000.00

In August 2007 Royce Group Ltd was awarded the contract to install mechanical services to the new purpose-built office facility for Haven Power, based in Ipswich.

The contract included the supply and installation of:
2 large VRF systems on each floor of the building.
Server room AC systems.
Heat recovery ventilation including WC extract.
Full plumbing and sanitary ware installation.
Heating and cooling were provided by the installation of 4 way blow cassette units, manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric. The VRF systems are of the heat recovery type, with external condensing units installed in an external plant compound.

The contract was completed on time and on budget.

Contract Value £900,000.00

In March 2011, Royce Group Ltd were awarded the contract to refurbish 24 VRF systems in the Capital Radio building, Leicester Square, London.

The project took 9 months and was completed in December 2011. In addition to the original VRF design, an extra 25 DX split systems were installed in studios and server rooms.

This was a very challenging contract, with overnight shift working and very limited time frames for installation.

Several overnight crane lifts were required, which involved the closing of a significant section of Leicester Square.

The works were completed on time and handed over to the client as designed.

Contract Value – £225,000.00

In December 2009 Royce Group Ltd was awarded the contract to install VRF air conditioning in a new Metropolitan Police Facility to be built in Leyton, East London. Wates Construction was the main contractor and Briggs and Forrester Ltd were the principal M&E contractor.

The installation comprised seven large Mitsubishi Electric VRF systems connected to over 70 ducted fan coils.

Mitsubishi WR2 condensing units

The systems were the WR2 type and utilised Ground Source Heat Pump cooling via a borehole installation in the grounds of the facility. All systems offer full heat recovery and touchscreen control via the Mitsubishi AG150 controllers installed in the main plant room.

Several P series DX split systems were also installed in server rooms and CCTV suites, with air-cooled condensing units installed on a first-floor plant deck.

Also installed were Four large PUHY condensing units connected to four Exhaust Air Handling Units.

All aspects of the installation were carried out within the required programme and the Metropolitan Police took possession of the building in September 2010.

Contract values £18,000.00 – £185,000.00

In the past few years Royce Group have carried out several mechanical services projects at BNY Mellon, formerly The Bank of New York Mellon, located in Queen Victoria St, London, adjacent to St Pauls Cathedral.

These projects include the installation of several VRF systems (£185,000.00), supply and extract ductwork, kitchen cooling and ventilation (18,000.00) and most recently, a Stulz CRAC server room installation (£90,000.00).

The installations at BNYM are always challenging, as in its role as an Investment Bank, the building is almost always occupied, with disruption having to be kept to a minimum. Other problems include the limited access for crane lifts, which have to be carried out under the dictates of the Corporation of London and involve road closures adjacent to the bank.

All Royce Group projects at BNYM have been completed on time and with minimal variation costs.
