The Savoy Hotel
Key Challenges Extremely confined working environment Restricted access routes within a live, high-profile hotel setting Complex logistics associated with removing large-scale plant in sections Requirement for rigorous safety controls and certified lifting solutions Outcome: All generators and boilers were safely dismantled and removed without incident, despite the challenging conditions and restricted access. Following completion of the removal works, the basement areas were thoroughly cleaned and prepared, allowing refurbishment works to proceed in line with the hotel’s future operational requirements. This project highlights KpH Environmental’s capability to deliver complex heavy plant removal projects within sensitive, high-value environments while maintaining the highest standards of safety, planning and execution.
The Old Bailey
Key Challenges Live, high-security judicial environment with restricted access Confined boiler room and plant spaces limiting working and removal methods Hot works requiring full isolation of fire, sprinkler and electrical systems Presence of asbestos rope gaskets requiring careful avoidance, controlled removal and compliant disposal Out-of-hours working to minimise operational disruption Outcome: The works were completed safely and efficiently, with all boiler flue ductwork and associated mechanical materials removed in full compliance with health, safety and environmental requirements. The project was delivered without disruption to court operations, demonstrating KpH Environmental’s ability to carry out high-risk, controlled mechanical strip-out works within live, security-critical and historic buildings.
Portcullis House
This project demonstrates KpH Environmental’s expertise in boiler decommissioning, HVAC strip-out and complex mechanical removal works within sensitive London buildings.
Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square
Challenges Confined basement access requiring detailed lift planning and staged removal Tight working space around existing live services Coordination with hotel operations to minimise disruption Safe execution of hot works and mechanical dismantling within enclosed conditions Outcomes Phase 1 was completed safely, on programme and to specification. All redundant mechanical equipment was removed, leaving a clear and compliant plant room ready for future refurbishment and installation works.
