Initial groundworks have been completed at a large heat pump installation at St George’s College, Weybridge. In late January, the sole remaining drilling machine made the last of 132 boreholes in fields that will be returned to use as sports pitches and for outdoor events.

Now follows the installation of four 230kW Viessmann Vitocal 300-G Pro ground-source heat pumps.
