Warmafloor enlisted for military

Warmafloor is to supply systems for the redevelopment of military accommodation in Aldershot and across Salisbury Plain in what is believed to be the largest underfloor heating project in the world.

Underfloor heating was chosen for the £8bn Project Allenby/Connaught, being carried out by Aspire Defence (the joint venture between Carillion, KBR and HSBC) to minimise energy usage and long-term maintenance across the 20 sites.

Paul Dempster, managing director of Aspire Defence Capital Works, said: "We wanted to work with one provider so as to benefit from partnering and the associated efficiencies. The task then was to find an underfloor heating specialist with the depth of resource and track record to take up the challenge."
