Montague Burton residences
Student Accommodation
We completed the mechanical and plumbing refurbishment for phase one of the Montague Burton Residences 3 year refurbishment programme during summer 2016.
The phase one refurbishment focused on three blocks of the student accommodation, a total of 104 bedrooms.
Works undertaken included:
- Installation of new LST radiators, boilers, alterations to interal gas pipework and installation of new gas riser.
- Installation of new unvented hot water cylinders to new plantrooms as well as specified pumps and valves.
- Installation of new sanitary ware throughout student flats.
- Chlorination & water hygiene management flushing regime as per University of Leeds guidelines and Legionella Risk Assessment.
These works were undertaken during the summer break for students, within a fixed programme. It was essential that we completed works in line with the programme and in conjunction with other contractors so the accommodation was ready for the new student term at the beginning of September.
