Perfect Ambient Heating for Fine Art Deco Building

The Challenge

One of the top ten largest universities in the UK required our help when their old belt-driven Holden and Brooke Starflex pump started to leak in their fine arts institute. The pump was supposed to circulate fluid in the heating system to keep the gallery at a comfortable ambient temperature.

The Solution


We sourced a suitable new Lowara NSCE end suction pump together with expansion bellows and flange with gaskets.

The new pump had a reduced kWh of 0.55 compared to 0.7 kWh. This will also save the university a few hundred pounds per year on electricity bills.

Our experienced engineers made all pipework modifications, electrical and mechanical connections and tested the system before completing works.

Customer Testimonial

Dura Pump have been working for me for the last 3 years under a PPM contract, they have provided a great service not only contractually but also for all remedial and reactive works and have been very competitive with quotes which I believe they have won all of them. Customer service is on point and I have had no complaints during their contract period. The Dura pump Connect portal is a god send for us as a customer to get live updates on all work.

The Outcome

Our customer’s building, housing their Gallery of Fine Arts is now once again fully operational at the correct temperature. Their new ongoing maintenance contract will also now ensure that any issues are highlighted in good time and repaired or replaced before the pumps become inefficient or broken.

By optimising their ambient heating pump system, the university building is now operating more sustainably and efficiently. This ensures uninterrupted comfort for the building and its visitors.
