Utilities, energy and services infrastructure

Getting Energy Efficiently to where you need it

NIFES has gained an excellent reputation for delivering Utilities, Energy and Services Infrastructure. We specialise in the design and project management of the following: Combined Heat and Power Systems (CHP) systems, boilerplant, energy centres, district heating systems, and electrical distribution networks.

Operating teams throughout the UK, we routinely implement design solutions in all aspects of this field, providing specialist advice on troubleshooting and performance across a wide spectrum of systems.

NIFES also has a substantial electrical engineering capability which supports the heating and boilerplant function. This is a key resource of our CHP activities.

Our solutions are applied to:

• Manufacturing Industry Process Applications
• Industrial Buildings
• Local Authority Housing
• Public Buildings

On the strength of surveys and feasibility studies, NIFES undertakes the design and project management of low carbon energy solutions. In particular, we specialise in designing large infrastructure projects such as boiler and CHP plant installation, solving electrical infrastructure issues, as well as designing other energy saving technologies.  Our projects range from a few tens of thousands of pounds to projects with values of many millions of pounds, including:

• Large Steam Boiler Plants
• Combined Heat and Power
• Energy Efficient HVAC systems
• Low Energy Lighting
• Efficient Electrical distribution systems (HV/LV)
• District Heating Networks
• Building Management Systems (BMS)

Examples of NIFES' recent projects of this nature include: Industrial Projects Food Manufacturers Breweries Paper & Board Manufacturers Public Sector 10 Health Sector CHP Schemes (Combined CO2 savings of 30,000 tonnes/annum) University CHP and District Heating Large Acute Hospital Electrical Infrastructure Full Infrastructure Strategies at two Major Hospitals Biomass Energy Schemes Heating & CHP – 1 Mwe – 50 Mwe Advice & Implementation Consultancy Waste to Energy Heating & CHP 3 Mwe – 50 Mwe Advice & Implementation Consultancy Schemes Based on RDF, SRF and Commercial/Industrial Waste.
