The Challenge

Failure of an obsolete, irreparable LTHW heating pump with no existing backup. Extremely difficult plant room access via stairs and a crow’s nest ladder added significant complexity.

The Solution


Dura Pump navigated the challenging access to replace the failed unit with a modern Wilo Yonos GIGA 80 twin-head, inverter-driven pump.

Key actions included:

  • Installing a twin-head unit to provide essential standby capability.
  • Re-establishing the connection to the hospital’s Building Management System (BMS).
