Executive Summary

Leeds City Council has committed to working towards making Leeds a carbon neutral city by 2030. The Leeds PIPES district heating network is a major initiative towards this which will reduce emissions by approximately 11,000 tonnes per year. 

The £45m Leeds pipes project is a significant, city-wide undertaking which involves the creation of two energy centres, a 26.5km district heating network and the upgrade of the in-home heating systems and civic building plant rooms.  Our team delivered significant design and programme enhancements to deliver improved performance and our delivery team were able to work in partnership with the council’s highways, planning and housing teams.

GJH Scope of work

GJH scope of works was to insulate two new energy centres (Saxton Gardens and Cross Green) feeding the district heating network to various other existing  plantrooms within Leeds city centre. GJH also carried out the thermal insulation works to Leeds Citywide Flats. Materials used on the projects included supaphen phenolic section, in addition, finished with stucco aluminium cladding in palntrooms, with all valves and ancillaries fitted with bespoke high temperature infill/grey silicone removeable jackets.
