IWS was commissioned to upgrade an existing boiler system by replacing two obsolete, inefficient units with new, high-performance Ideal Evomax condensing boilers.
The project formed part of a wider energy-efficiency and asset-renewal programme, designed to improve operational performance and reliability within a live building environment. Delivered by the IWS Small Works Team, the entire project was completed safely and efficiently within one week, ensuring minimal disruption to operations. The replacement works provided the client with a modern, compliant heating system offering enhanced efficiency, resilience, and lifecycle value.
The objective of this project was to replace two obsolete floor-standing boilers with modern, high-efficiency Ideal Evomax units, improving overall system performance, reliability, and compliance with current standards. IWS was engaged to deliver a like-for-like replacement that maximised energy efficiency while ensuring minimal downtime for the client.
The works required careful planning to complete the project safely, efficiently, and within a tight one-week schedule. The new system was designed to provide long-term resilience and ease of maintenance, ensuring the client benefitted from reduced operational costs and enhanced control over their building’s heating performance.
IWS undertook a comprehensive scope of works to complete the replacement and commissioning of the new boiler system. This included a targeted asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) survey to ensure a safe working environment prior to commencement. The team removed the two redundant boilers with faulty PCBs and installed two new Ideal Evomax condensing boilers, configured in a full cascade system with manufacturer-supplied frames, shunt pumps, and a low-loss header kit.
The installation also required two vertical flues routed through the plantroom to roof level, a chemical and bacterial sample of the LTHW system in accordance with BSRIA BG 50, and full flushing, balancing, and commissioning of the system to ensure correct flow rates and manufacturer warranty compliance.
The project presented several logistical and technical challenges that required close coordination and precise execution. Working within a live plantroom environment meant strict adherence to health and safety procedures, particularly during the asbestos survey and removal phases. Limited access and confined working space demanded careful planning for the removal of existing equipment and installation of the new boiler system without disrupting other mechanical services.
Maintaining the tight one-week timeframe was critical, requiring efficient sequencing of mechanical and commissioning works. Despite these constraints, the IWS Small Works Team maintained quality, safety, and regulatory compliance throughout the process.
The boiler replacement project was successfully completed on schedule and in full compliance with all relevant regulations. The installation of the new Ideal Evomax boilers delivered a significant improvement in system efficiency, reliability, and controllability. The client now benefits from a high-performance heating system with reduced energy consumption, extended service life, and improved resilience due to the cascade configuration.
All commissioning documentation, test results, and O&M manuals were provided at handover, ensuring full traceability and warranty validation. The project demonstrated the capability of the IWS Small Works Team to deliver technically complex mechanical upgrades safely, efficiently, and to the highest professional standard.
