Spirotech first choice for Strathclyde

07-10-2020

The University of Strathclyde’s building maintenance requirements have been streamlined thanks to a long-term commitment to eradicate contamination from all of its heating and cooling systems in partnership with Spirotech.

For the last seven years, Andy McWatt, Senior Mechanical Engineer at the University of Strathclyde, has specified only Spirotech product across all the university’s existing and new systems, as a result of excellent experiences with the brand; namely the transformation of the heating and cooling systems serving the university’s SIBS Robertson building.

“The SIBS building is a very sensitive area of our prestigious Biomedical unit and one where accurate temperature control is vital,” explains McWatt. “In this particular building, we were having real issues with debris blocking the re-heat battery control valves, which was made worse by the fact that access to the valves is difficult.

The installation of Spirotech’s SpiroVent Superior in 2008 marked the beginning of the partnership with the company, which resulted in improved system functionality across the site and the wholesale removal of contamination issues across both historic and new building stock.
