KESTON RACES TO ACTION AT HONDA FORMULA ONE

Keston Boilers has supplied a bespoke rig to Honda Racing Development Ltd (HRD) that will provide all heating and domestic hot water (DHW) needs to its engine production facility, in Bracknell. HRD supplies the F1 racing engines that power Honda Racing and Super Aguri F1 teams.

The rig incorporates two C55 boilers, pressurisation set and expansion vessel, and will provide heating and hot water for the three-storey office facility at HRD.

Keston won the contract for its ability to tailor products to a customer’s specific needs. In this instance, the project required a low-height rig, as space in the plant room was severely restricted, so a solution was sought that could be manoeuvred into position and connected to the system, with minimal downtime.

As a company, Honda also upholds a strong environmental ethos, so a manufacturer that could deliver a custom-built, efficient solution was key. Keston’s complete range of heating solutions carry a SEDBUK A-rating, and can save up to 30 per cent on heating bills.

The rig was installed by S&J Industrial Pipework of Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, who worked closely with Keston throughout the project to ensure the correct boiler plant specification. Established in 1972, S&J Industrial Pipework is a company committed to quality products and only installs Keston boilers to its extensive customer base.

Keston’s modular rig design means almost any heating output can be achieved, and all of its units are SEDBUK A-rated, ensuring peak operating efficiencies and minimum running costs. Rigs are delivered to site pre-assembled and pre-piped, and include an integral weather compensation control.

All rigs are built to order and Keston guarantee a quick turnaround, from order to delivery.
