We are privileged to be involved once again at The Gleneagles Hotel, to undertake the replacement of the existing boiler plant as Principal Contractor. The existing plant supplied heating and hot water to the hotel and of paramount importance was to undertake the phased replacement of boilers, pipe work, pump sets, controls and flues, whilst maintaining essential services for example to the kitchens, bedrooms and restaurants. A series of delicate operations, which could be described as “open heart surgery for big boys”!
