Chiller and pump set replacement at a semiconductor manufacturing facility
PEMEC replaced the existing chillers and pump sets at a UK semiconductor manufacturing facility with larger units and all interconnecting pipework, to increase system capacity.
Objective
The existing plant was inefficient and could not meet demand. The key milestone was removing the old chillers and installing the new units and pipework within a four-week programme.
Scope
- Removal of existing equipment and pipework
- Installation and positioning of new chillers
- New primary pump sets and cooling tower pump sets
- All interconnecting pipework, including chilled water and complex chiller routing
Approach and delivery
A spider crane was used to lift and position the chiller units and pump sets safely within restricted site conditions.
When existing gaskets were found to contain asbestos, a specialist contractor was engaged to remove them in line with statutory requirements.
Outcome
The project was delivered on time and within budget, giving the facility the cooling capacity it needed.
