Always good to be someone’s favourite!
When that favourite someone is the NHS then that is particularly healthy. So it was with one of the country’s largest NHS Trusts in the North of England. They had relied on Watkins Hire for the past 3 years to meet their repeating temporary cooling needs. Primarily to deliver cool clean air to provide comfort cooling for staff and patients to the Operating Theatres and Wards.
This 24/7 requirement was achieved by the use of one large Temporary Chiller unit plus full supporting equipment and services to integrate into the Hospitals existing HVAC systems, fully installed, commissioned and overseen by local Watkins Hire technical and engineering staff.

This time a large self contained Dual Circuit Packaged Boiler was selected to meet both the domestic hot water as well as the heating needs of the patients and staff.
As with the above cooling need, a full turn-key weekly hire package was offered and installed to meet this critical need.
