Formerly the site of the old Edinburgh tram depot and the Shrubhill masonic club, the Engine Yard project was a 4 year re-development. The new works were a modern complex comprising of 5 blocks of flats. The heating is supplied via a district heating system with a central boilerhouse feeding all the buildings. For a large part of the contract I was the only working heating engineer and fitted around 70% of the heating system pipework.
The Engine Yard was a fair sized project. The pipes were a mixture of 2 1/2 Inch Grooved Victaulic, 2 inch to 1/2 inch screwed steel, 54mm to 15mm crimped copper and 2 inch lagged Uponor.
