    SMS, as the preferred contractor for RJ & AH Hospital, undertook the replacement of an end-of-life cold water storage tank (54,000 litres) within a 4-storey plant room. The existing tank serviced the entire hospital site, requiring the replacement to be carried out without disruption to the water supply as the hospital remained operational throughout the project.

Challenges Faced

The project presented several challenges:

  • Operational Hospital: Replacing the tank without disrupting the water supply to the operational hospital.
  • Space Constraints: The existing tank, located on the 3rd floor, took up the entire floor, posing challenges for removal and replacement.
  • Concrete Base Construction:  Constructing concrete bases for the new tanks on the 3rd floor using timber shuttering and rebar.

Our Solution

SMS addressed the challenges with the following solutions:

  • Strategic Drainage: Safely drained and removed the existing tank using a winch and pulley system through the central core of a stairwell to maintain continuous water supply.
  • Concrete Base Construction:  Built concrete bases for the new tanks on the 3rd floor using timber shuttering, rebar, and pumped concrete through a roof access hatch.
  • Specialised Lifting:  Employed a winch and pulley system to lift the new sectional tanks to the 3rd floor, ensuring precision and safety.
  • Integration with BMS: Linked the new tanks with electronic temperature sensors to the Hospital's Building Management System for real-time monitoring.

With the dust now settling on the completion of the C-ALPS Hydrogen Laboratory research project I would now like to extend my thanks and gratitude for the success of a most challenging project. With some client changes and the impact of the various supply chain materials issues this has not phased anyone and the testament to you all is the conclusion of a great project! Your dedication and persistence has ensured that a great team ethos has been fostered in concluding the work.

Just a quick note to say thank you for a great job, the job looks great and a big part of that look is down to the hard work of your staff who performed to the highest standards. Looking forward to working with the guys again.

Savesta Construction Ltd was appointed as the Principal Contractor for the new £2.10m Dining Room and Science Classrooms extension project at Moseley Park School, Wolverhampton. From the reconciliation of their quotation and throughout the construction phase we found Staffordshire Mechanical Services Ltd to be engaged and proactive. Their representatives were always happy to engage with the design and progress meetings and provided valuable contributions where necessary. Their works were completed snag free, on time, within budget and without any accidents. Their final account was detailed and transparent resulting in it being promptly agreed. Given our experience, Savesta Construction Ltd

SMS Ltd were a new Company to us, via the Diocese. They were very professional in how they worked, and were very flexible in working around our school hours and holidays. We had new heating in our nursery, and they also helped out with other water / heating problems we had been incurring for numerous years. Of which, other companies had been unsuccessful. The staff and governors at the school were so pleased with their work that they have asked to include SMS Ltd in tender / quote process for additional work in and around school.
