Ecozi has completed the supply and installation of a retrofit rainwater harvesting system at the ONS (Office for National Statistics) in Newport. The system comprises of two HyproDuo factory built, hybrid control appliances. The HyproDuo provides flexible operation with the two units sharing the buildings demand and providing mainswater operation without using the underground storage sump. This retrofit project was ideal for RWH as the buildings infrastructure has an existing 80,000L rainwater sump under the pumphouse. Until now all rainwater was pumped 500m offsite to the river Ebbw. The large storage capacity, high rainfall and 8,000m² roof area are anticipated to provide 90% of the annual requirements of WC flushing for 1,600 staff. The installation contract required Ecozi to install a new 3 phase power circuit, clean the existing 6m deep storage sump and fit new ultrasonic level gauges to the pump controls to optimize the water level in the sump for maximum reuse. Meet Ecozi staff and see our leading products at the Built Environment Solutions & Technologies Show , 17th to 20th October 2010 at the NEC Birmingham. We'll be happy to help with design advice as well as showing you our selection of advanced rainwater harvesting systems. Ecozi, a leading supplier of rainwater harvesting systems recently commissioned an advanced system at the new North Road Primary School in Darlington. The school, built to the highest environmental standards incorporates a 10,000L tank, with all components pre-installed. In the plant room is a HyproDuo rainwater management appliance with booster pumps. Just two items were shipped to site for local hook-up by the M&E services contractor with final commissioning by Ecozi. The hybrid system allows for flexible operation with no system critical components located in the tank facilitating safer and simpler long term maintenance. ...another precast concrete tank supplied by Ecozi has been installed in record time at a new 68 room care home under construction by G&J Seddon at Cockermouth. The 23,000L tank was HIAB’d into final position by the delivery truck. Using these tanks eliminates extra craneage cost and the tank requires no concrete base or backfill. Compared to a GRP tank alternative the saving in installation cost is approximately £3,500. It took just 80 minutes from when the delivery truck pulled up to placement in the final position. More information about this project.
Roger McEvoy, Director at Ecozi said: “Ecozi always uses precast tanks for commercial projects. They allow Ecozi to offer the best-in-class rainwater harvesting solutions, similar to the advanced German market where concrete tanks are common place. Ecozi rainwater harvesting systems utilising precast tanks and factory built control appliances require a full system evaluation to appreciate the cost savings Ecozi bring to a project. Savings compared to traditional systems amount to several thousand pounds by eliminating a concrete base and backfill, craneage, civils deign and time to install. Ecozi control appliances require only piping hook-ups at first fix and are usually shipped later in the project cycle.”
