Where Complex Design Meets Seamless Delivery.
At Yarrow Energy, we thrive on delivering heating solutions that meet the highest standards of efficiency, reliability, and integration. Our recent project at the Viridis Building, West of Scotland Science Park is a perfect example. As part of a landmark development designed to support Scotland's knowledge economy, this installation demanded both technical precision and close collaboration with the wider construction team.
The brief called for a system capable of meeting the building's year-round heating requirements while maximising sustainability. We specified and installed a Stiebel Eltron 87 kW ground source heat pump system, supported by extensive groundwork and a high-capacity plantroom setup, ensuring dependable performance from day one.
Groundworks and Coordination
Delivering this project required 10 boreholes drilled to 80 metres, each connected back via carefully designed trenches to a central manifold. Working within an active construction site meant our engineers had to carefully coordinate pipe runs and trenching with other trades, preventing clashes and ensuring works progressed without disruption.
A Plantroom Built for Reliability
The heating plantroom was designed around a 1,000-litre buffer vessel and associated hydraulics, creating the flexibility to supply both underfloor heating and radiators across the development. Our engineers worked closely with the design team to future-proof the system, allowing the building to adapt as occupancy and heating demand grows.
Tackling the Challenges
The most demanding aspect of this installation lay in the complex pipework and trenching runs, which required meticulous planning and daily liaison with site personnel. Thanks to our collaborative approach and commitment to precision, the installation was delivered smoothly and safely. The result is a robust, future-ready heating solution that delivers efficiency without compromise. By combining advanced heat pump technology with detailed on-site coordination, we've created a system that supports both the performance and sustainability goals of the Viridis Building.
