Ben Burgess

In 2018, Airway completed a comprehensive new build installation project for Ben Burgess in Ellington Cambridgeshire. The project involved a range of mechanical and HVAC systems (You can read about this project below).

In 2023 Ben Burgess required a new build installation in Oakham, Leicestershire. A new project designer (K Garnham Designs) and consultant (Create Consultants) was instructed to manage the project via Ben Burgess and due to the quality of the work in Cambridgeshire they enlisted Airway again.

Tasked with installing VRF Air Conditioning & Heating Systems and AHU Fresh Air Ventilation – Airway successfully installed two Mitsubishi PURY-EM R32 Air to Water VRF Systems, including 4 Internal Branch Control Boxes and 29 Cassette Fan Coil Units. Additionally, a DX Split System for the IT Server Room, a Mitsubishi Touch Screen Controller, and a Mitsubishi Refrigeration Leak Detection System were integrated. The ventilation system comprised a VES AHU MAX/D/SP/S with Plate Heat Exchanger and Electric Pre Heat Battery, complete with associated ducting, fixings, dampers, and supply and extract grilles.

Airway was later asked to also handle all mechanical works. The scope expanded to cover in-coming gas and water mains, direct gas heating with Dunham Bush Heaters, hot water boilers, pressurization systems, water pumps, water softeners, LTHW flow and return pipework, and LTHW radiators in common areas.

During installation, Airway identified missed and over-specified elements that the previous mechanical company had made. They took the initiative to re-specify a Full M&E Control Panel, revise duty run and stand-by LTHW pump sets and implement new diverter valve sets.

Airway ensured all systems were fully commissioned, including gas certification, water treatment certification, FGas testing, and air flow balancing. The entire process was overseen by Airway’s install teams, showcasing their commitment to delivering a fully operational and compliant system. With the project completed ahead of schedule allowing for a seamless transition for Ben Burgess to occupy the building.
