Contract Conditions: Linbrooke's Bespoke Domestic Subcontract

Project Description: The railway depots at East Ham and Ilford are close neighbours, and both play a crucial role in East London’s transport network.  East Ham EMU Depot sits just off the London, Tilbury and Southend line, which runs out of London Fenchurch Street, between East Ham and Barking stations.  Ilford depot, meanwhile, is placed nearby on the main line out of London Liverpool Street, through East London to the Essex coast.  When the ageing boilers at these depots were due to be replaced, Emico was engaged by Linbrooke to carry out a complete plant replacement of the redundant boilers at both depots, including both the amenity and shed boiler rooms at East Ham.  Emico then installed new boilers, controls, BMS and ancillary equipment.
