“…it is always satisfying to drive through our home city and see our flues along the city’s modernising skyline.”
JOHN J DOYLE TOOK AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO FLUE ROUTING AND CONNECTIONS TO TACKLE SPACE LIMITATIONS ON LIV STUDENT ACCOMMODATION PROJECT… FLUE SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION
M ain contractor Michael Nugent Ltd contracted John J Doyle Ltd to design, supply and install a new flue system to suit the new boilers and water heaters for the LIV Student Accommodation Belfast project. The project presented challenges because of the limited space and height inside the boiler house and plant room. “A typical installation for this type of project would be a common header system to combine flues, but this was not possible,” explained Kyle Moore who managed the project for John J Doyle Ltd. “Instead, we routed each boiler flue individually through the boiler house roof, with water heater connections being installed using stainless steel single
wall flues to maximise space in the plant room. “In addition, to comply with UP10 regulations and the Clean Air Act, the flue was installed to the highest point of the building as, according to calculations, the planned termination point fell within the radius of concern.” Upon completion of the flue systems for the new boilers and water heaters. John J Doyle Ltd was contracted to design, supply and install the flue system for the standby generators. LIV Student Accommodation is part of a modern Belfast. “As Belfast’s chimney specialists, it is always satisfying to drive through our home city and see our flues along the city’s modernising skyline.”
