Powering the Palace: replacing the boilers at Buckingham Palace
Published
The Reservicing Programme at Buckingham Palace, a 10-year overhaul of the building’s essential services, continues with the removal and replacement of the ageing boilers. Project Manager Barry Igoe about how this piece of work has been carried out in a working Palace. |
Identified as being in urgent need of replacement, the boilers - all over 30 years old - are being replaced by a new energy centre, which is anticipated to make carbon emission savings of 300 tonnes per year. |
60-year-old heating pipework has also been replaced throughout the Palace basement, which houses workshops and catering facilities, amongst other services, which help to keep the building running. You can read more about the Reservicing Programme here. |
