Kwikot’s industrial heat pumps and 450ℓ boilers as storage vessels
were specified. Each was positioned outside the building with an
enclosure around to ensure adequate ventilation.
Scope of work
The scope of work involved the removal and discarding of all the
old infrastructure in terms of stormwater sewerage water supply
and rainwater harvesting. Thereafter, it was the installation and
implementation of a more cost-effective means of hot water
generation. “The old resort had over 40 hot water cylinders providing
hot water to the different rooms and buildings. We installed an
integrated system whereby all WCs could be supplied by borehole
water that has been filtered in case of water shortages. Rainwater is
to be harvested to supplement the irrigation system and for the filling
of the public swimming pools.
“Nothing was simple about
this as all the buildings were
different and had different
requirements. When work
commenced, the pressure was
immediately intense.”
