Ridge and Partners on board for heat network

Hull City Council has appointed the firm to provide further topographical and utility surveys as part of phase one of its emerging district heat network.

Ridge will conduct additional surveys around Cambridge Street flats and at buildings on Osborne Street, St Luke’s Street, Great Thornton Street and Portland Street.

HDHN was initially based around the city centre and immediate surrounding area, however that remit has now been expanded.

The topographical surveys, which will take place over the next few weeks, will map the features of the site, such as height and boundaries, to determine the precise locations to support the project development and design process.

Utility surveys will be undertaken using ground-penetrating radar.

The studies are required to support the council to fulfil its objective of developing the phase one district heat project, which will deliver low carbon heat to the city centre, serving both public and private buildings, as well as business and residential accommodation, both existing and new build, as the council looks to advance decarbonisation.
