LTHW SYSTEM RESILIENCE AT MANCHESTER AIRPORT
The Challenge
Our scope includes full NDT testing and reporting, alongside the replacement and upgrade of the terminal’s low‑temperature hot‑water distribution network. The result is improved reliability, efficiency, and resilience of the heating system – enhancing thermal comfort for passengers and staff, reducing energy waste, and supporting the airport’s long‑term operational performance.
The Solution
Building on earlier project phases, the Terminal 3 LTHW renewals further reinforce Manchester Airport’s position as a key economic hub for the Northern Powerhouse.
The Outcome
Applying DfMA principles and off‑site manufacture, MCIS designs, fabricates and assembles key LTHW components and modular assemblies away from site. This minimises site hours, enhances quality, and reduces waste and carbon impact. The approach has been especially valuable in a live airport environment, enabling a fully phased delivery while maintaining terminal heating capacity through the winter and upholding robust safety standards.
