Porthcawl Medical Centre

This new building which serves more than 16,000 patients, consists of 27 consulting rooms, 6 multi-purpose treatment rooms, physio & phlebotomy rooms, and a pharmacy. Highland Services designed, supplied, and installed all Mechanical services for the entire building for Andrew Scott Construction, the main contractor. Highland were responsible for any maintenance and repairs during the first 12 months and initial PPM. This demonstrates the relevant experience and capability needed to carry out the works on this contract. When assessing various heating options, we advised the use of an air source heat pump system in lieu of a gas boiler. This reduced heating costs and carbon emissions by approximately 20%. Slightly higher capital costs were more than offset by the saving in running costs and the £30k cost of obtaining a new gas supply, offering immediate payback.
