Hospital job just the tonic for GW Power-Safe

A building services engineer is in good health after winning a hospital contract.

GW Power-Safe is fitting green technology to a nurses’ accommodation block at Dewsbury and District Hospital.

Bosses say the Hull and Leeds-based firm will install 30 solar panels, air source heat pumps and a low-carbon heating system in Cullingworth House.

Work on the project – funded by Government decarbonisation cash – is expected to finish early next year.

GW Power-Safe’s sister company C3 Group, which operates as a sustainability consultancy, supported the hospital with its funding application for the design and construction of its low-carbon system through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.

Ash Wray, of C3 Group, which operates nationally from its Hull headquarters, said: “Cullingworth House is a dated building, and had a very old and inefficient heating system.

“We immediately identified several ways it could be improved using the latest green technology.

“This is the first investment in renewable energy by the hospital and the air source heat pumps will deliver 58 tonnes of carbon savings annually, with a further 2.5 tonnes coming from the solar panels.”

Daniel Haley, of GW Power-Safe, added: “We can oversee the full decarbonisation process from start to finish.”
