Bricknell Primary School is the largest primary school in Hull with around 630 pupils on roll. Prior to the installation of the new Imax Xtra EL boilers, heating for the school was generated by five standard efficiency boilers that were over 13 years old. Not only were the old boilers having to be run at full capacity throughout term time to meet the school’s heat demand, leading to high energy use and running costs, they had also begun to fail and required continual maintenance. The decision was made to upgrade the appliances with a far more reliable, low cost solution.

These wall panels, sometimes as sculptural reliefs, reflect a continued concern for the preservation of those precious marine environments. The work is highly contemporary and has a visual language that can be understood in design terms by all cultures. In series or as individual panels these unique pieces create an ambiance of sophistication to any interiors and Melanie’s designs can be commissioned for specific placement in atriums, offices or stylish homes.
