ENGINEERING students have been supporting a major decarbonisation project at Warwick Hospital.
The hospital is undergoing a major decarbonisation project which F P Hurley, a building services company from South Wales, is working on.
The £9 million project will help towards reducing carbon and energy costs.
F P Hurley has been working with Warwick Trident College to provide work experience opportunities for students.
And two students on the BTEC engineering course at the college have been the first to benefit from the new relationship.
Cameron Bains and Harry Woodroffe had a week-long work placement with FP Hurley at its Warwick Hospital site.
The project will see South Warwickshire University Foundation Trust’s carbon footprint significantly reduced. FP Hurley is upgrading the power supply, installing air source and water source heat pumps, and installing new district heating mains feeding the satellite plantrooms.
The work also includes the installation of solar PV panels and window upgrades.
College spokesperson Stephen Leck said: “It has been great to work with F P Hurley to provide vitally important industry experience for our students.
“This is the type of experience you simply can’t get in a workshop. It will set the students up for the future and ensure they have an understanding of the skills they need to thrive in the workplace after completing their college studies.
“We look forward to continuing to work with F P Hurley as the firm continues the project at Warwick Hospital and hope to support them on further projects in Warwickshire moving forwards.”
