Office, Warehouse Heating System Upgrade for Waitrose Bracknell

Introduction

Waitrose Bracknell upgraded its office and warehouse heating systems to improve efficiency, provide targeted heating, and integrate modern technology. The works also ensured protection of the building fabric. ICH Services managed the upgrade to maintain safe operations and minimise disruption across all areas. In addition, the project focused on delivering long-term energy savings and enhanced environmental performance.

Challenges

Waitrose Bracknell existing steam heat exchangers required replacement with a modern, energy-efficient system. The team also needed to provide spot heating in key areas, including the Welding Bay and warehouse. Integrating new plant into the existing gas pipework and electrical systems posed further complexity. Furthermore, coordinating building management system (BMS) integration and aligning with fire safety requirements demanded careful planning and execution.

Solution

ICH Services installed an Air-to-Water Heat Pump system to replace outdated steam equipment. We provided spot heating with dedicated heat pumps for the Welding Bay and warehouse. In addition, our team modified and connected the gas pipework to the new plant. Electrical connections and BMS integration were upgraded to streamline operations. Furthermore, we coordinated the fire alarm interface with Frocester Fireac to ensure complete safety compliance.

Results

The heating upgrade optimised energy efficiency across Waitrose Bracknell. Spot heating improved comfort in critical areas such as the warehouse and Welding Bay. In addition, BMS integration simplified operational control and monitoring of all heating systems. Finally, staff and building occupants remained safe thanks to careful fire system coordination. The project highlights ICH Services’ ability to deliver modern, efficient, and safe heating solutions in live environments.
