A new energy pipeline will connect the John Radcliffe and Churchill hospitals in Oxfordshire, U.K., according to an article on the Oxford Mail website.
The installation of the 2.2km pipeline will create a modern energy link which will save the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust around half a million pounds every year in energy bills.
At the John Radcliffe Hospital, contractors are replacing the four ageing 1973-built boilers with one 4 and a half megawatt combination boiler.
“The big challenge is it is a live hospital which we have got to keep running. The challenges are to keep it operational and to make sure there is not a shut down. It is a case of keeping the hospital running efficiently,” said project manager Martin Pykett.
